Ukraine Aid Toolkit How to support the crisis

Since Russia started invading Ukraine on February 24, hundreds of people have lost their lives, thousands have been displaced, and these numbers are expected to increase dramatically.

The speed of their exits means that most families will leave Ukraine with very little. They need shelter and safety from the fighting, as well as psychological support. Learn how your company and employees can support nonprofits working in the region to provide humanitarian aid in the form of shelter, food, medical supplies, and psychological assistance.
