Over the past two years, The Parkland has brought well over 200 people to our area.
So many of them have given back and helped grow Dauphin and the Parkland's economy.
Mike Csversko, with Fusion Credit Union, was thrilled that they could help with the fund.
"In terms of helping them get settled in, whether that's finding places to live or even financing their first homes, it's very heart-warming to see the look on their face when they walk out the door knowing that they're homeowners. It's quite a special feeling."
Csversko was also excited to support some new entrepreneurs through the Fusion Infusion program.
We have seen some Ukrainian businesses, some start-ups, who have applied through that program. It's great that they're here for the long-term and settling down. They're starting their businesses, they're hiring people. Definitely encourage them to continue to grow. We need entrepreneurs in our community, and that's kind of the life blood, those small businesses that create employment and keep the economy moving.
Fusion Credit Union played a key role in accepting donations and managing the money, dispersing it to the newcomers who needed it.
