Through the support of our community adding new volunteers and connections, our reach has grown to diverse aspects of the relief effort. Our address of each is centered on the approach we have had since the beginning–providing a means for those who stand with Ukraine to give directly toward the immediate needs of war victims.
PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.

Direct aid for refugees
Help Send Donated Medical Supplies
To transport medical supply donations from Bozeman to Poland in the most efficient manner, URE volunteers book flights and travel with the supplies as excess baggage. Upon arrival in Poland, the supplies are transferred to a cargo van then driven into Ukraine. For the majority of the trips so far volunteers have personally paid for their flights. In order to increase the number of deliveries by making it more financially feasible for volunteers, we are asking donors to consider helping with the flight costs.

Architecture Program Outreach
MSU administrators and students are working to develop a curriculum to design architectural solutions in Ukraine and Poland. URE student volunteers will gather project and site information on a trip in July to inform the program.

HOUSING FOR IDPs
The war in Ukraine has destroyed countless homes and communities, causing many families to displace to other parts of the country. The families we serve fled their homes and have been living in houses that lack basic living amenities such as indoor plumbing and modern heating. They have had to improvise kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, laundry, and even waste disposal. Ukraine Relief Effort's team living in Ukraine, including one American, is renovating houses to provide dignified living condition for these families.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES
The strain that the war puts on Ukraine's medical system extends far beyond the front lines. Thousands of communities across the country welcomed those fleeing battle torn areas, but willingness to help and supply inventories don't always match. URE has been collaborating with a community in western Ukraine to ease the strain of this increase in population. We communicate directly with the hospital in Ukraine, and with hospitals and clinics in Montana, USA to collect the most needed supplies. We then coordinate shipment by land, sea, and air.
