The crisis in Ukraine continues to devastate the country. An estimated 15 million people in Ukraine have been displaced from their homes over the past year.  The need for warm clothing and bedding in the winter months alongside food and hygiene supplies is critical, especially among people living in hard-to-reach conflict zones in the south and east where supply chains have been disrupted.

To respond to the crisis, ODW partnered with Grace Tea: a nonprofit organization founded and led by a Ukranian-Russian couple.  Grace Tea distributes relief supplies to war victims through carefully vetted on-the-ground partners located within Ukraine.  Through our partnership, over 25,000 people received relief packages containing food, hygiene supplies, warm clothes and/or bedding.  Supplies were procured and transported by truck to eastern and southern Ukraine, then distributed in high-need communities.
