How To Help
Please consider supporting Ukraine, whether you volunteer time to a nonprofit providing humanitarian aid, make a monetary donation, or simply advocate for Ukraine.
Remember that even the smallest donation in time or money has a big impact; for example, the Ukrainian Red Cross website notes that: $10 can provide a hygiene kit to a family of five, giving them supplies to stay healthy for a month; $20 can provide five blankets to families taking shelter; $30 can provide 3,600 chlorine tablets to ensure that families have access to clean, safe water; $100 can provide sleeping mats for 66 people who have been forced from their homes.
Following is information for non-profit organizations that we have been following. These organizations have been working tirelessly to support Ukraine. Links for more information and how to get involved or donate are provided.

Gate To Ukraine
Gate To Ukraine was founded for the purpose of allowing anyone to Help Ukrainian Families Directly. Millions of Ukrainian families have had their lives destroyed by the war and many are displaced, unemployed, and beyond the reach of humanitarian resources. Sponsoring a family is often the difference between them starving or eating, between them being able to move away from areas of active conflict or be forced stay behind and risk their lives. It’s difficult to comprehend the pain these families are going through every day and impossible to watch their stories without getting emotional. Despite their tragic circumstances, their incredible perseverance, resolve, and endless passion for Ukrainian freedom and independence is what keeps the team at Gate To Ukraine working hard to help as many families as possible. Gate To Ukraine, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are deductible to the full extent allowable under IRS regulations.
