The Mudra Sprava Patriarchal Foundation, responding to the impoverishment of the people caused by the loss of work and homes as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, decided to launch a project to purchase food from Ukrainian producers, prepare and distribute food packages to the most affected and vulnerable.
