Together for Ukraine
The current situation and humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine occupies us and makes us deeply concerned. The suffering that the people there have to experience is inconceivable. As a family-run company with strong humanitarian values, it is natural for us to help the people in Ukraine. For this reason we support the relief action “Roth Hilft” initiated by Yevheniia Frömter, with the transport – from donations realized food and other needed goods – to the safe zone at the Polish-Ukrainian border Medyka/Shehyni. From there, the relief goods – through Caritas Ukraine – reach people in the interior of the country who need them the most right now.
