Helpers of Pittsburgh

February 24, 2024 from 1 PM - 5 PM

Celebrating Ukrainian Resilience and Culture

As the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, we at DTCare and UCHI would like to bring everyone together to celebrate the resiliency of the Ukrainian people and the countless "helpers" here in Pittsburgh who continue to offer support and relief. Inspired by the beloved Fred Rogers quote, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping," we are hosting an event that we are calling “Helpers of Pittsburgh: Celebrating Ukrainian Resilience and Culture” - an indoor street fair dedicated to uniting our community in a common cause.

COME CELEBRATE WITH US

Don't miss out on celebrating the vibrant culture and traditions of Ukraine and joining DTCare and UCHI as we honor the nation's resilience on the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion. Plus, connect with Pittsburgh's dedicated "helpers" who continue to provide crucial support and aid.

Join us on Saturday, February 24th, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, at the Carnegie Boro Building, 1 Veterans' Way, Carnegie, PA 15106.

This event is FREE and open to the public.
