Svoboda, founded in 1893, is the world’s oldest continuously published Ukrainian newspaper. It is published on a weekly basis in both print and digital formats.
The Ukrainian Weekly was founded in 1933 to serve the Ukrainian American community and to function as a vehicle for communication of that community’s concerns to the general public in the United States.
Alnmanacs are published annually and contain valuable information about American, Canadian and Ukrainian heritages and cultures. Issues of the Almanacs are digitized and available on Svoboda’s website.

UNA Life Insurance and Endowments
Permanent insurance
Permanent insurance provides protection from the moment the contract goes into effect until the insured dies. During the lifetime of the insured there is an accumulation of cash value that can be accessed and used for various benefits.
Term Insurance
Term Life Insurance provides a solution for your short-term life
insurance needs, protecting you and your family for a specific period.
Payout only within term of policy.
Endowments
Savings and insurance: two products for the price of one.
Endowments help you save money for important moments in your
life such as your child’s or grandchild’s higher education or marriage,
or for unforeseen future expenses. At the same time, the endowment
serves as a life insurance policy until the date of maturity.
