UCSS is dedicated to helping those who are unable to help themselves.
As a non-profit, charitable organization, UCSS responds to the needs and interests of both the Ukrainian Community as a whole and individuals through its wide range of services.
These services include:
♦ aid to the poor and needy;
♦ providing assistance to senior citizens and new immigrants;
♦ counseling and advice assistance;
♦ referral and information center;
♦ translation service;
♦ aid in sponsorship of refugees;
♦ aid in immigration procedures;
♦ help with Canadian Citizenship application;
♦ aid overseas;
♦ liaison with various governmental and other social service agencies.

UCSS is not just another organization; it is you and us, the Ukrainian Canadian Community, helping those in need. Without your help, we will not be able to carry out our programs.
