About the Ukrainian Foundation:
Ukrainian Foundation was established in 2006 by Ukrainian immigrants to help Ukrainian refugees adjust to their new home in the United States. Their base is in Portland, Oregon, home to over 100,000 Ukrainian immigrants. Since the invasion of the Eastern portion of Ukraine in 2014, the foundation has been sending medical supplies to those fighting to protect their cities. In 2022, with the attack on the whole of Ukraine, they have been apart of the effort to help the unmet needs of displaced Ukrainians both in and outside of Ukraine.
