The Trust’s Fifth Annual Ukrainian Fundraising Appeal

As you may know, the Three Village community has a deep historical connection to the people of Ukraine.

It was during the last half of the 1800’s, that a vast number of Eastern Europeans fled persecution to seek a better life in the United States. Many of these immigrants arrived in Setauket to work in a factory that employed hundreds of men, woman, and children.

Small “Factory Houses” were built by the company’s owners for the arriving workforce. The work was difficult, the hours long, and the pay low. These new Americans would persevere in the ‘land of opportunity’ and eventually see their sons, daughters, and grandchildren prosper in their adopted country.

Three of these “company homes” are part of the Three Village Community Trust’s properties and are currently undergoing restoration. These Immigrant Worker Factory House, pictured below, are a lasting reminder of the American Experience.

As the relentless war continues in Ukraine, we are constantly reminded in the news of the suffering and hardship of its people. To paraphrase the recent words of a world leader: Hopefully, we all can be inspired to make a concrete gesture to help those suffering in this senseless war.

The Trust has not forgotten the people of Ukraine! Over the past four years, we have raised over $8,000 to help the people of Ukraine. Every dollar raised went to the most highly rated aid organizations vetted by Charity Watch.

Now, as in the past Februarys, we are asking you to join us again in this humanitarian effort. As with our past fundraisers, 100% of all money donated in our 2026 Annual Ukrainian Fundraiser will go towards the relief effort.
