Following Russian President Vladimir Putin's launch of an invasion on Ukraine in February, there have been protests and rallies across the United States and Europe in support of the Ukrainian people.
Millions of people have fled the country and are now refugees, while those who stayed behind face increasingly difficult living conditions. There are many ways to help the people of Ukraine through donations to nonprofit organizations, crowdfunding for charities, and much more. Here are a few to check out:
The International Committee of the Red Cross and Ukrainian Red Cross Society accept donations that support humanitarian work, such as infrastructure repair, rebuilding damaged homes, providing food where they can, and giving aid to hospitals, school, community centers, and more.
Those interested in donating can send a one-time or monthly contribution to help the people of Ukraine.
Another organization to look at is the nonprofit United Help Ukraine, who receives and distributes donations, food, and medical supplies for those in need. Their fundraising also helps wounded Ukrainian soldiers, and families of those wounded or killed. Donations can be made on their website and their Facebook page through a PayPal link.
If you're looking for a different organization to help support Ukrainian soldiers, then take a look at the Army SOS website or Facebook page. Donations help provide ammunition, shields, uniforms, supplies, and more.
"Army SOS Citizen's Initiative coordinates people`s efforts to help soldiers of Ukraine," the Army SOS website said.
