Potlucks Social Programs Manager, Andrea, came up with the idea early on in her time with us to do a Holiday Meal Program supporting a group of women on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays with a homemade, fresh and quality holiday meal made by our very own talented kitchen team. Last night, we began the program on a very high note - serving the Ukrainian refugee group of mothers and children that the YWCA Vancouver supports.
The YWCA supports 17 single mothers groups across the Lower Mainland, and recently opened their doors and arms to the aforementioned mothers and their children. The outpouring or support from the community has been wonderful, we've been told... And we wanted in! Andrea, along with two wonderful community staff Anna and Aimee, served up loaded plates of yummy food to everyone attending (and some YWCA staff too who couldn't resist the smell)
Dinner last night (not pictured because it went sooo fast) included turkey, white & dark meat, homemade stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and corn, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce and delicious pumpkin pies (managed to snap a pic of these luckily)
The night was filled with laughing children, chatter of the mothers socializing, and some Instagram stories being snapped up by some teens attending as well.
Check out some of the pics from last night - and keep your eyes open around Christmastime because we'll be doing both a traditional Christmas dinner for the single mothers group and their children around December 19th, AND a traditional Ukrainian Christmas dinner on Jan 6th.

Community gatherings such as the 2022 Ukrainian Thanksgiving with YWCA Vancouver highlight how important connection care and support can be during different stages of life. Events that bring people together often create opportunities to share experiences learn from others and build awareness about issues that may otherwise remain unspoken. Interestingly this same idea of support and awareness can also be applied to personal health where understanding a concern early and seeking the right guidance can make an important difference.

Che bella iniziativa! Condividere un pranzo speciale con le famiglie ucraine è un gesto di grande solidarietà e dimostra quanto il cibo possa unire le persone anche nei momenti più difficili. Progetti come questo hanno un impatto concreto sulla comunità e fanno davvero la differenza.
A proposito di strumenti utili nella vita quotidiana, recentemente ho trovato molto pratico un servizio per il calcolo RAL da stipendio netto, che permette di stimare rapidamente la retribuzione annua lorda partendo dallo stipendio netto. È una soluzione semplice e utile per comprendere meglio la propria retribuzione e pianificare le proprie finanze.
This is such a heartwarming example of how food can bring people together and create a sense of community. The effort to support Ukrainian mothers and children through a homemade Thanksgiving meal shows how thoughtful gatherings can make people feel welcomed and cared for. Community support like this also highlights the importance of looking after overall family well-being, including finding trusted healthcare professionals such as the top dermatologists in Karachi when specialized skin care is needed.
It’s touching to see how the YWCA Vancouver is creating such a supportive environment for Ukrainian mothers and children during Thanksgiving. The details about the homemade meals and community support really highlight the power of kindness in tough times. Having participated in similar events, I know how much these gatherings can uplift spirits and foster connections.
