York Rotary has helped provide aid to Ukraine since the war started six years ago. Over the four years York Rotary has collected food and other aid and that has been transported to the Ukraine via HAAD. To date over 350 banana boxes of food aid has been sent along with other one of specific items of aid such as funding for portable generators. The need for aid continues.
Our collections have been halted for a few months, but they are re-commencing and members are encouraged to bring aid donations to monthly business meetings. In terms of aid we are seeking non perishable food and toiletries as well as sleeping bags and blankets.
The delivery of aid is not always easy. Truck 94 shown in the video below took four hours to unload by hand because it was too icy to use a forklift truck safely. Fortunately the team were able to enlist the support of 15 locals to help. In the background sound to the video you can hear the air raid sirens.
Another video that can be accessed via the Facebook link below talks about the lack of power and heating and the problems that residents in Kiev are encountering. Even simple tasks like charging mobile phones have become problematic.
Continued support would be appreciated.
