Minneapolis - On February 24th, the world watched in horror as the Russian Army invaded Ukraine. Everyone knew that they needed to mobilize. Inspired by the mayor of Columbia Heights, 'Minneapolis, Purple Noodle Marketing put together a website called www.BandagesforUkraine.com to amplify the needs of groups working in Ukraine. 

In 2022, a coalition of volunteers from the United States will depart for Poland to deliver Humanitarian Supplies to those in need. This initiative intends to bring donations and supplies, including Medical Supplies, insulin, HIV PreP medicine, and more. This initiative will be part of an ongoing effort to provide aid to countries suffering in the wake of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

With their reliable partners, Che Relief - Ukraine, Ukraine Children, Purple Noodle, Ukraine Children, and Bandages for Ukraine will be running a donation drive these next few months and are asking for medical supplies. Supplies can be dropped off Monday - Friday from 8:00 - 4:30 at Columbia Heights City Hall 590 40th Ave NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 or mailed to 940 44th Ave NE #21282, Minneapolis, MN 55421.

The new organization desires to be part of an ongoing effort to provide aid to countries suffering in the wake of war or natural disaster. It intends to raise funds to obtain the supplies and donations as they are looking to plan continuous trips every month or two until the war is over. We will be delivering supplies to our sister city, Łomianki, Poland, and other countries supporting Ukrainian refugees.

The contributors of this coalition expect that by providing these supplies, they can help improve the quality of life for those struggling in Ukraine and the surrounding countries that have stepped up support for the Ukrainian Refugees. Their desired outcome is to deliver supplies to their contacts in Poland, who will, in turn, deliver the goods to the various hospitals in Ukraine. The contributors understand that the only way to be successful is if they can provide relief to those in need and help to improve the quality of life for those who are struggling.
