South Queens, NY – Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-South Queens) partnered with Kiwanis International of Woodhaven and Ozone Park, Lions Club International of Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Howard Beach, Living Word Christian Fellowship, Ozone Park Block Association and Solent Freight Services to bring much needed supplies to Ukraine.

Throughout the past week, residents of the Rockaway Peninsula, Broad Channel, Ozone Park and Howard Beach dropped off supplies at either Living Word Christian Fellowship or the Office of Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato. “It is moments like this that reaffirms the fact that this truly is the best community in New York. In the 23rd District we are governed by the notion that we don’t sit idly by while others suffer, whether they be a neighbor down the street or a total stranger across the world. We have an opportunity to help victims of a horrific war and we are going to do everything we can to support them,” said Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato.

“I am filled with pride that organizations like Kiwanis International of Woodhaven and Ozone Park, Lions Club International of Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Howard Beach, Living Word Christian Fellowship, Ozone Park Block Association, Solent Freight Services, along with Deshi Senior Center, the Pizza Dance Foundation, Our Neighbors Civic Association of Ozone Park, The Glendale Civic Association, Howard Beach Observation Patrol, BACDYS and so many others who got involved exist in our community. I will be happy to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all of them as we load the truck,” Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato said.

The donations are set to be delivered to Ukraine via Solent Freight Services, a freight forwarder with ties to the local community who have the ability to ensure the donations will be properly delivered. The last day to drop off supplies is Saturday, March 19 at the Living Word Christian Fellowship. “Let it be known that the 23rd Assembly District not only stands with Ukraine, but will not desert them and will do whatever we can to help,” Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato said.
