"Hearts for Ukraine" was created by Grains of Good Foundation in partnership with RM Music Festival.
Our goal is to coordinate the work of volunteers from all over the United States and Ukraine to ensure a TARGETED delivery of goods to selected organizations in Ukraine addressing their specific needs. We have built a full logistical chain that covers every step of the delivery process. All last week we worked hard around the clock to make this possible.
The first shipment of humanitarian aid is going out on Saturday, March 26!
Destinations:
Regional Staffing & Social Support Center, Shevchenkivsky District, Kyiv
"Happiness for Children" Foundation in Zhytomir District
What we have done so far to make it happen
Got the specific list of supplies that are needed from those foundations.
Communicated and coordinated volunteers in various locations in California to collect all supplies.
Found a warehouse in San Jose, where supplies will be delivered to and stored before shipping to Ukraine (1191 N 5th St, San Jose, CA 95112).
Found a freight company that ships from Sacramento to an airport in Ukraine (Lviv) and booked a space on a freight plane.
What’s next?
We collect all donations in the warehouse at 1191 N 5th St, San Jose, CA 95112.
On March 24th and 25th, we pack and label all the supplies. We need volunteers for these days - Sign up here!
On March 26th, the labeled and sorted items are loaded onto a truck waiting in Sacramento; the truck is provided by the freight company.
The freight company drives the truck to LAX and loads it on the plane which takes it to Lviv airport in Ukraine.
Two trucks that we have booked pick up our shipment at the Ukrainian airport and deliver it to the organizations mentioned above.
We share photos and reports from destinations in Ukraine.
How can I help?
For this shipment, we need $15,000. This pays for truck freight from San Jose to Sacramento, transportation to LAX, flying the cargo from LAX to Lviv, and for further targeted delivery.
We intend to send out all supplies by Saturday, March 26. We need to act fast!
