GUEST EDITORIAL: THE NEED IS GREAT!

By Bruce Zimberg

Every day we learn from CNN or the newspapers about developments in Ukraine. As our eyes begin to tear, we know we have to do something. 

Arnold Zimberg and I are proud to be collaborating with Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy (formerly of Dancing with the Stars) and Baranova 27 to provide apparel, outerwear, footwear, accessories, hosiery, underwear, luggage and more to refugee families from Ukraine in desperate need of everything. 

Baranova 27 is a 100% volunteer-based charitable initiative. People from all over have rallied together and have offered not just donations but their time and resources to provide real help to the families and frontline heroes in Ukraine who need it the most. In the first three weeks, we have boxed over 105 tons of humanitarian aid!

We are reaching out to our apparel industry friends with hopes that you can donate whatever you can to Baranova 27 for these refugee families.
