The blue-and-yellow-striped box at Gulfport City Hall accepted toiletries and supplies for Ukrainian people in need.

Gulfportians filled the Ukrainian flag-inspired box at Gulfport City Hall, thanks to the efforts of Ward IV City Councilmember Michael Fridovich.
Fridovich is the councilmember behind a toiletry and supply drive.
“I just want to figure out a way to help the people of Ukraine,” Fridovich said. On Tuesday, March 29, Fridovich took a full box to the Epiphany of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church. The St. Petersburg-based church will send the donations to the Ukraine, but won’t accept any more donations.
“I had to convince them to take this box [because] they had so many donations,” he said. “I want to thank all who donated.”
