JEWETT — Michael DiBenedetto, a local man volunteering in Ukraine recently gave a moving presentation at St John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church a few weeks ago to raise money for relief efforts in that courageous country.

Thanks to the generosity of the Mountaintop Community, Michael was able to raise $4,200, enough to purchase the vehicle shown in this photo.

This vehicle will be loaded with medical supplies in the U.K., and ultimately arrive in Kharkiv. The vehicle will be used to deliver critical aid and transport those in need in the areas affected by the war.
