UKRAINE - HOW YOU CAN HELP
 
In response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the Rotary Foundation has made available the Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions. District 5450 recommends utilizing the Rotary Foundation so that you can be assured your donations will be distributed through safe and reliable sources. We also encourage you to "sign in" when asked to the Rotary site so that you, and your club, will be recognized for your donation. Click Here for a list of locally led Eastern European relief efforts.
 
In response to the deepening refugee crisis, The Rotary Foundation Trustees have decided to prioritize contributions made to the Disaster Response Fund until 30 April 2022 to support disaster response grants for Districts affected by events in Ukraine. These expedited disaster response grants can be used to supply water, food, medicine, shelter, and clothing. Please note that no funds are going to Belarus.
