THEIR STORY
Soon after Russia invaded, a few members of Vegan Ukraine quit their jobs to open a full-time vegan meal distribution center called Lviv Vegan Kitchen (LVK), as reported by The Independent.
At first they worked out of a small vegan restaurant (Vega Room), but demand from refugees saw lines out the door, with more than 200 meals being distributed daily. Fortunately, they were able to relocate to a larger facility and increase their distribution, now providing hundreds of free vegan meals daily.
But demand continues to increase as people from eastern and southern Ukraine flee the escalating attacks. Combined with surging prices and food shortages, there is critical need for a dedicated vehicle so that volunteers can make the 8-hour drive (each way back and forth) to Poland for food and supplies.
Purchasing a dedicated vehicle would not only support LVK’s increasingly high volume at the free vegan kitchen, it would also allow them to expand food distribution through organized drop-off sites and ship more meal packages specifically to vegans defending Ukraine (500+ meals have already been shipped).
Please donate if you can to support their heroic efforts.
We send 100% directly to LVK!
