Two moments in time that have now converged at one point.
Spring 2021, a pandemic, lockdowns, a blow to the economy. We start a program of food parcels, thousands upon thousands. We raise money, buy food, and help pensioners.
Spring 2022, war...
In the early days, we were tasked with providing a supply of food for the battalion we were supporting for 2 months of the siege. Experience, reflexes, muscle memory. We bought food - we were ready. We drilled a well - we had water. We bought fuel - we formed an emergency supply. Moreover, we managed to form "caches" of weapons and ammunition in the surrounding area.
The offensive on Kyiv was stopped, and no encirclement took place. Weapons and ammunition were surrendered, the well was mothballed, and the fuel was gradually used up.
Products...
We were among the first to bring food parcels to Irpin. We were the first to bring food parcels to Bucha. We carried them to Chernihiv and Sumy, to Dnipro and Uman. Several thousand have already gone. We are now collecting 5,000 food parcels from the remaining stock in the warehouse, and we will distribute them and finish this stage.
More than a million hryvnias were spent on food purchases, and the Poroshenko Foundation provided several million more in free supplies. Flour, sugar, canned food, water, condensed milk, instant cereals. All of this will be used to help those affected by the occupation or IDPs.
This is a piece of the puzzle. And the dream is that in the spring of 2023 it will all be over.
