On 10 May 2025, the Ukrainian Women’s Association Branch in Geelong held the annual Mama’s Market, a special charity event that brought together both the Ukrainian and Australian communities for a meaningful cause.

Visitors to the market enjoyed:

  • Fresh flowers for Mother’s Day

  • Traditional Ukrainian dishes including varenyky (dumplings) and borshch

  • Homemade cakes and pastries

  • Coffee and refreshments

  • Handcrafted items

  • Pre-loved clothing and plants

  • A silent auction with beautiful prizes

The event successfully raised funds to support women and children affected by the war in Ukraine. All proceeds will go towards humanitarian aid, including essential medical equipment and supplies for those in need.

The Ukrainian Women’s Association Victoria extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported, volunteered, and visited Mama’s Market. Your kindness makes a real difference.
