BARTLETT — Organizers of recent local efforts to help the people of Ukraine were pleased with the results.
Terry O’Brien, co-owner/general manager of the Red Parka Steakhouse and Pub in Glen, which hosted a Ukraine Relief Weekend fundraiser, said: “Together with the local band Diana’s Bath Salts, we raised a total of $12,000 with our Ukrainian raffles and Ukrainian dinner specials Friday and Saturday for the World Central Kitchen, with 100 percent of funds raised going to feeding the people of Ukraine and helping Ukrainian restaurants get back open.”
