Johnstown aid is on its way!

A HUGE consignment of aid for Ukrainian refugees left Johnstown, Navan yesterday (Monday) bound for Poznan in Poland.

The Jordan International truck was packed full of medical aid, non perishable foods and other essentials, which had been collected by the Johnstown Ukraine Appeal in recent weeks.

The appeal has been put in touch with Poland's largest charity, Caritas, by Fr Janusz Ługowski, Polish chaplain to the Meath diocese.

The founding member of the appeal, Gillian Lindsay Doonan is travelling out to Poznan where she will meet the truck on Thursday.

“Thank you everybody that helped out. I will meet the truck on Thursday and update you all then,” she said.
