“It is the hope of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office that this body armor can provide some measure of protection to the Ukrainians fighting on the front lines of this bloody war," Sheriff Errol D. Toulon Jr. said. "We pray for a quick and peaceful end to this conflict.”

The pallets of armor were loaded into moving trucks provided by College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving, along with medical supplies, first-aid kits, blankets, sleeping bags, and other essentials collected in the drive by Dr. David Buchin, who is the coordinator of the Long Island-Ukraine Emergency Response Drive.
