In northeast Minneapolis Sunday, the line at St. Michael’s and St. George’s Orthodox Church was around the block.

Hundreds showed up to raise money for Ukraine, doing their part while bonding over borscht. The soup is a Ukrainian staple.

“It’s made with a base of beets and cabbage,” said Yuri Pedenko, who, along with several others, helped cook and serve the gallons of soup.
