A new store in North Spokane is helping Ukrainian refugees in the area.
It’s called “Ukraine’s Closet.”
Its founder, Zhanna Oberemok, started collecting donations weeks ago. At first, she was using a storage shed as a place to operate from.
Now, Ukraine’s Closet has moved and has its own storefront at 9431 N. Division.
Since it got started, more than 20 families have gotten free clothes and shoes. Six households are fully furnished with donated furniture.
Oberemok said the Spokane community really showed up for Ukrainians.
“This is extremely generous of them. It’s every day, I get goosebumps. Every time, when somebody brings stuff, this is for the Ukrainians, this is for the Ukrainians, it’s amazing because people have been so generous,” Oberemok said.
