Putnam County fundraiser to help Ukrainian refugees in Poland a success

The Putnam County Mother's Day Weekend fundraiser to help the Ukrainian refugees in Poland was a success.  The drive was organized by a Mahopac resident who is a native of Poland and County government on the three day event.  People donated everything from baby products, clothing, and shampoos to first aid kits.  Putnam residents and businesses donated enough to fill a 40-foot shipping container to send to Poland, where millions of Ukrainian refugees have taken shelter. Now volunteers will organize, pack the shipping container and send it off to Poland.  The Unilever corporation donated $100,000 worth of diapers and feminine hygiene products.  A Mahopac couple donated $2000 for shipping.  Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell says putnamcountycares.com/ukraineaid/ was designed by Thomas Lannon, Director of the county's Information, Technology & GIS Department. The Putnam County Sheriff's Department helped staff the event.  The Paladin Center donated its space for the collection drive and is allowing all of the items to be stored on its property until the shipment can be made.
