VETERANS
OHU honors the sacrifices of Ukrainian soldiers and veterans who have served on the frontline. Many of them endure physical trauma from their service and require extensive surgeries for recovery.
OHU partners with The Chicago Association of Veterans of WWII to provide its members with food assistance and access to social gatherings at commemorative events. Additionally, OHU collaborates with Dignitas to support its Victory Drones program, offering Ukrainian veterans employment and educational opportunities following their military service.
