Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine , we have been committed to helping the people in need. Within a few days, a call for donations via our social media became the largest aid project in the history of Menschenfreude e.V.
100 helpers – 40 tons of food directly to Ukraine – 12 vans with trailers on the way to refugee camps in Warsaw and Chelm – 24 drivers. The first packing action in the yard of our warehouse in Swisttal is the beginning of our help for the needy people in Ukraine.
The first aid convoy went first to Warsaw and Chelm in Poland. In specially converted churches, volunteers offered refuge and protection to hundreds of refugees night after night. Mostly mothers with small children. Our team delivered sleeping bags, blankets as well as hygiene items. We also distributed donations at train stations and at the Dorohusk border crossing.
In the course of our fundraising activities, more and more helpers have joined, which we are very happy about. In addition to
numerous companies and organizations, whom we thank very much in our blog post
, many families, children, parents, kindergartens and schools also got involved. The colorful pictures speak for themselves !
By the end of 2022, there have been a total of 16 shipments of relief suppliesto Ukraine as well as Poland. The alternating driver teams consisted of Vitaly Krusch, Tanja Wiesner, Henriette Wiesner and Matthias Straub. We were able to bring about 100 people with us to Germany and we were able to provide for all of them.
With the beginning of the cold season we had once again separately called for donations, to fund special emergency power generators. In total 22 devices purchased and brought into the country. In our blog we have accompanied the action.
Further transports and relief actions are planned. We will keep you up to date…
