The London Ukrainian Centre continues to collect donations for relief efforts for those living in Ukraine.

With the outpouring of support and donations from the London community, organizers have updated their list of donations needed.

In a Facebook post Wednesday, the organization says they no longer will be accepting clothing, shoes or children's diapers for the time being. In an updated list, the centre is prioritizing:

• First aid kits
• Medication (i.e. Advil, Tylenol, Gravol)
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Tents, camping mattresses & wool blankets
• Non-perishable food items
• Baby food
• Personal hygiene products
• Women’s hygiene products
• Disposable plates and cutlery

Money transfers can be sent to [e-mail] while cash donations will be accepted at the centre's Ukrainian Credit Union.

Donations are being accepted from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, at the London Ukrainian Centre at 247 Adelaide Street South.
