As the war reaches its one-year mark on February 24th, Russia started a war on neighboring Ukraine, invading the country on several fronts. The UN estimates that nearly 5 million have registered as displaced Ukrainian people in neighboring countries while over 8 million displaced inside war-torn Ukraine itself. The journey is daunting, with many Ukrainian families and their pets traveling for days without food. They need your help now.
As the situation continues to evolve, Greater Good Charities and iHeartCats are working to help. We have a team on the ground providing urgent relief, and are in contact with humanitarian and animal welfare partners on the ground responding to the immediate needs of the people and pets of Ukraine. We're providing funding and supplies to help distribute nourishing meals at border crossings for displaced Ukrainian people fleeing Ukraine and at shelters and camps for those who remain in the country.
Greater Good Charities’ funding is also helping to support people and pet evacuations from Chernihiv and northern Kyiv regions, food, and other supplies for residents not evacuating, and additional sheltering for pets outside the region until they can be reunited with their families. We've activated our pet foster software for rescue groups to help provide temporary homes for displaced pets.
Greater Good Charities is already on the ground assessing the situation and distributing humanitarian and pet supplies and food, including our Good Packs. We are distributing directly to displaced Ukrainian people in neighboring countries and working with partners who are transferring product into Western Ukraine.
