Homes for Ukraine and volunteering tips?

I do volunteer work and this week our little group was thinking of organising an event to welcome them into our community. Looking at July sometime when the weather's better

This includes possible a venue or outdoor tents where food and advice can be given. The church has kindly offered their facilities and ground.

I know personally when going abroad I especially miss food and it gives me comfort. These poor individuals must be really missing the life they had barely 4 months ago. I thought home cooked Ukrainan food would help them.

Anyone have any food tips or ideas ? I have some people who can translate material but cuisine we are stuck.

To be honest I think you'd be better off cooking British food rather than Ukrainian. You're not going to be able to do it better than they can, and they will be interested to learn about what kind of food we eat here as they're unlikely to know much beyond fish and chips (probably not even that). Plus they might even like it! If not, maybe you could suggest they can cook some Ukrainian food and bring it with them

Well we will have all sorts of food including Indian, Turk Chinese food which might be more exotic to them. We wil have the usual Italian pizza etc continental dishes but I'm sure they've had them.
Yes what can wrong with a good old British fish and chips and some rain 😊
