Bosnian authorities have confirmed that over 500,000 people were evacuated and at least 25,000 others have also been evacuated in Serbia.

As a result of this these  floods people were left without their homes, food, water and any belongings.

“The whole Serbian community in Windsor is in mourning over the catastrophe that has hit our homeland. Almost half of the places where Serbians reside (Serbia and Bosnia) are completely flooded. We are all following the situation down there and are praying to God to help our brothers and sisters in this difficult time.” said St. Dimitrije Priest Jovica Cetkovic.

The church is located at 2690 Seminole Street. The sale takes place Sunday from 8am to 8pm.
