'I want people to be able to go there, to visit Ukraine, to eat the food, to experience the culture and Ukrainian hospitality,' said Voloshyna, raising funds to help feed refugees overseas.
In San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood, a street sign on the corner of Russia Avenue and Mission is showing support for Ukraine.
"When you watch the news and see what's going on, you want to contribute and help somehow. This opportunity came up and it was just the easiest way for me to help contribute to it," said volunteer Brandon Ho. Voloshyna says seeing others be so quick to volunteer has brought her comfort during a difficult time.
"I'm smiling for the first time today because I saw these people, and they have their lives and they have something to do," she said. But Voloshyna says Sunday's event is just the beginning. She's planning on hosting more in the future.TAKE ACTION:
