RANDOLPH — What began two weeks ago as a Northern New Hampshire effort to help Ukrainians quickly spread to the surrounding region.

On Thursday, April 7, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office took 74 slightly used and several new but expired ballistic vests that were collected from all parts of Coos County, as well as Grafton and Sullivan counties to a N.H. State Police warehouse in Concord to be picked up by the California National Guard for delivery to Ukraine.
