Project 1 Assistance to New Parishes & Seminaries of the UAO The Society sends sheet music, church service books, vestments, icons, and other items necessary to conduct church services to the newly established parishes of the UAO Church. It has sent copiers, a supply of paper, church service books and theological works to seminarians of the UAO Church. The project also sent donated dental office equipment which was used to establish a dental office for seminarians, priests and poor people of the Kiev area.
Project 2 Humanitarian Aid to Elderly and Children Funds are being raised in the US and sent to Ukraine in order to provide at least one hot meal daily to lonely, elderly people who would otherwise face starvation. The program started in November 1991 in a cafeteria in Kiev. Now there are 16 cafeterias in Kiev and at least one in each of 13 other major Ukrainian cities are involved in this program. The program is managed in Ukraine by the All-Ukrainian Orthodox Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which cooperates closely with the Society. The Gift program for orphans and poor children is being organized in the same way as the assistance for the elderly.
Project 3 Publishing House "Voskresinnia" (Resurrection) The project has published five books and two are being prepared for publication. These books are sold in the US and are distributed to individuals in Ukraine free of charge upon written request. The publications were reprinted in Ukraine by the publishing house "Voskresinnia" which the Society helped establish in Kiev. Due to lower cost of printing books in Ukraine than in the US, the Society helped financially to publish two church service books in Kiev and the third is being prepared for publication.
