Who We Are

Born From Love,
Resilience & Community

Since 2023, DON'YA Ukraine's Kitchen has been sharing authentic Ukrainian food — and the stories behind it — from the heart of Edmonton, Alberta.

What began as a community response to the 2022 invasion started as a small donation centre. Soon, those who once received help returned to volunteer, cook, and share their traditions. Their spirit became the heart of DON'YA.

Did you know? "DON'YA" means special daughter in Ukrainian — a beautiful word that reflects the strength, love, and resilience of women. We’re proud to share that meaning through our brand.
