Working with Rotary Clubs in Plymouth, NH and Zamosc, Poland, Common Man for Ukraine has funded an all-volunteer network in Poland and Ukraine. Their primary goal is to bring food, heat, and mental health services to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of the war, Common Man for Ukraine has raised and delivered more than $2.6 million in relief from 3,000 different donors. They’ve delivered more than 750 tons of food, 10,000 sleeping bags, hundreds of generators, a Bloodmobile, and more than $400,000 toward kids’ mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n

The co-founders of Common Man for Ukraine have also traveled to Poland and Ukraine three times to help. They even moved truckloads of 40-pound bags of grain. They have been in scary situations and have seen the heartbreaking effects of war. At the same time, they said, so many people are helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once, when they were making a nighttime delivery to an orphanage, they got stuck in the snow. The entire surrounding community came out to help them. <\/p>\n\n\n
