Ukraine Donation

Posted by zagba on

Dear ZAGBA community,

This is an update on the donated items for Ukraine from Laila Dantas.

Dear ZAGBA:

The original location for receiving donated items for Ukraine has reached capacity. Instead I will be dropping items off to a dental practice in Franklin run by a Ukrainian dentist to distribute to Ukrainian relief organizations. Items for donation are similar to previously requested. I have pasted the information below in case you can’t make it to the Navroz event and would like to donate directly to the practice.

COLLECTING SUPPLIES FOR UKRAINE RELIEF 🇺🇦

Dear Friends,

With your help, Mint Dental of Franklin will be collecting and shipping the much-needed items to various organizations in Ukraine. Please keep in mind the packages we’ll be sending have a weight and size limit, so the more compact the items the better. In addition, the organizations are asking New (not used) clothing and bedding. Here is a list of items we will be collecting for now:

• Non-perishable food (Pouches of tuna, jerky / beef sticks, nuts, dried fruit, bars, etc.)

• Clothes and footwear for men/women/children

• Thermal underwear

• Hygiene products (women’s products, etc.)

• Blankets

• Bedding

• Cutlery (disposable)

• Tents, mattresses, sleeping bags

• Backpacks 10 x 19 x 14 (approximately size)

• Standalone lamps / Candles

• First aid and first aid kits

• Pain medication: Tylenol / Ibuprofen / Aspirin

We will be collecting everything in the space to the right of our office which will be open during the same hours as our office (Monday and Thursday 10am-7pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 9am-4pm, no Saturdays). When dropping off, please leave your items in the appropriate labeled sections. To get in touch with any questions, please either send a message though FB / Instagram or email HelpUkraine02038@gmail.com. Please do not use our office line. Thank You, Much Love and Please Share! 💙💛

Dear ZAGBA Community,

One of the ZAGBA member’s Laila Dantas’s  coworker, belongs to a Ukrainian church.

The Ukrainian church in Jamaica Plain is shipping medical supplies to Ukraine  and other supplies to Poland and neighboring countries supporting Ukrainian refugees.

Below is a list of items requested. Medical supplies are most helpful. She will collect donated supplies at the Navroz event for those interested in contributing to Ukrainian efforts.

Best wishes,
