Donate
Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, has been under relentless bombardment for weeks. The destruction caused by the Russian shells has reached the fertile plains of Ukraine, turning farms into battlefields and giving rise to a food crisis.
A group of Ukrainian volunteers are risking their lives daily to distribute food and medications to more than 1,000 people in and around Kharkiv who can't leave their homes and are sheltering in place. We have partnered with the Maple Hope Foundation to collect donations, and all donations will be directly used to help this group's initiative.
