On March 28, 2020, the Kirovohrad Eparchy of the UOC held a charity social event “Help Your Neighbour Stay Home” to help senior people during the coronavirus, reports the eparchy’s press service.

As part of the action, the clergy deliver hygiene products and supplies to elderly people who are vulnerable to coronavirus.
