Mission

Hope For Ukraine’s purpose is to bring humanitarian aid to individuals, families, children and service members throughout the country of Ukraine. Since 2016, we have been dedicated to improving the quality of life of Ukrainians in need by providing basic necessities, critical benefits and services, and programs that support long-term development and opportunities. Since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began, we have been working full-time to provide essential food, shelter, hygiene products, clothing, first aid kits, and other critical aid to internally displaced and food insecure Ukrainians. Through all of these years our purpose has remained the same: To advocate for change through action.

Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

According to UNICEF, 17.7 million Ukrainians, including 3.4 million children, are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance due to the Russian invasion.  Currently there are 5.9 million registered internally displaced individuals inside Ukraine.  Almost 50% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been destroyed, and most Ukrainians do not have access to basics, such as electricity, water, and heat.  Hope For Ukraine is addressing many of the humanitarian aid needs of thousands of these individuals, including providing shelter, food, clothing, hygiene products, generators, wood stoves, mattresses, school supplies, and first aid kits.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Hope For Ukraine’s goal is to lessen the impact of the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded in Ukraine since the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022.  Using our extensive network of volunteers in Ukraine, we distribute humanitarian aid throughout the entire country, often going into some of the hardest hit areas.  Hope For Ukraine is particularly focused on providing basic essentials to individuals and families who are unable to secure these items for themselves.  This is not limited to, but includes:  Food, clean water, shelter, clothing, hygiene products, generators and wood stoves.

Hope For Ukraine is providing essential humanitarian aid to individuals, families and soldiers who have been affected by the invasion of Ukraine.  Our team in the US procures food, clothing, and other essentials from around the world and then ships them to our warehouse in Ukraine.  With the help of an extensive network of volunteers, our team in Ukraine distributes weekly grocery kits to families who have been cut off from food sources.  Hope For Ukraine also provides clothing, hygiene kits and other necessities to thousands of families who have lost everything they own.  We distribute food and first aid kits to soldiers on the frontline, and medical supplies to hospitals.  We provide generators and wood stoves to families who do not have heat and electricity.  Our volunteers have also rescued hundreds of civilians from active war zones.  Additionally, our refugee center provides shelter, meals, hygiene products and clothing to internally displaced families.  Hope For Ukraine has a strong focus on children’s needs, and we distribute educational and art supplies to schools, as well as thousands of holiday gifts to children who otherwise would have nothing else.

We have a dedicated staff in both the US and Ukraine, as well as an extensive volunteer network that helps with aid distribution.  We have warehouse space in both the US and Ukraine to store our humanitarian aid while it’s awaiting distribution.  We also have a refugee center in Ukraine that is being run and maintained by volunteers.  We rely heavily on social media to raise awareness in order to help fund our projects, and we also publish daily updates on our website as well as a weekly email update.  Additionally, we have developed good working relationships with other organizations that help us achieve our goals.

In 2022, Hope For Ukraine sent 1120 tons of humanitarian aid from around the world to Ukraine.  We provided 62 million meals for food insecure Ukrainians throughout the country.  We also provided shelter for 1310 individuals in our refugee center, and distributed medical supplies to 23 hospitals.  We distributed thousands of first aid kits and food to frontline Ukrainian soldiers.  Hope For Ukraine volunteers distributed over 5600 holiday gifts to children, and rescued 750 civilians from active war zones.  We plan to continue our efforts, with a goal of doubling the amount of meals we provide in 2023.  We are also focusing on children’s needs throughout the summer months when they are out of school, providing them with much needed support and activities.
