On February 24, Russia launched a large-scale military operation on neighboring Ukraine, invading the country on several fronts. The UN estimates that over 830,000 Ukrainians have fled since the attack began, with that number expected to rise dramatically. The journey is daunting, with many Ukrainian families traveling for days without food. They need your help now.
Greater Good Charities is working to rush funding to our friends at World Central Kitchen to provide warm meals to those seeking refuge. World Central Kitchen is working with local restaurants, caterers, and food trucks in the region to provide nourishing meals at border crossings, shelters, and other refugee communities. Their response has grown rapidly from serving hot, nourishing meals within hours of the initial invasion to having now set up at eight border crossings with Poland and establishing meal distribution points across six countries, including Hungary, Moldova, Romania and, soon, Slovakia.
You can help. Your emergency donation will go directly to aid those in need in Ukraine, providing nutritious meals and more at this time of dire need. Give today.
