In response to the humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe, Hubbard Radio’s KTMY-FM in Minneapolis-St. Paul is partnering with Minnesota-based Alight to raise money that will directly aid refugee care in Poland. The fundraiser, “myTalkers for Ukraine,” which kicked-off Monday, March 7, has already raised $105,000 and will continue through this week.
Alight, formerly known as American Refugee Committee, has a team on the ground at the Ukrainian border in Poland, assisting refugees with relief items and medical supplies for people fleeing Ukraine.
