Ukrainian furniture warehouse in Edmonton seeks donations for refugees
“We have probably helped, I’d easily say hundreds of newcomers,” said warehouse volunteer Jamie Hanlon. “In Alberta alone, we have 20,000 Ukrainian newcomers that arrived on the CUAET visa. We have roughly 6,000 of here in Edmonton.”As the refugee population increases, the need for donated furniture is staying steady.
“The key items that really become necessities are things like beds, box springs, mattresses, kitchen tables, chairs, couches,” said Hanlon. “We want to make sure that they’re comfortable. They’ve come from literally unspeakable conditions. So, we want to make their transition into living in Canada as comfortable as possible.”
As Drogatseva continues to settle into her new city and looks for work, she is thankful for the help.“I can’t even explain my gratefulness for this place, for people who work here, because without them, without any person who helped us, I wouldn’t get any apartment, any furniture for free.”
