Winter Support for Ukraine 2026/27

Let’s help families stay warm this winter

The fifth winter of the war in Ukraine is approaching. Continued attacks on energy and heating infrastructure mean that millions of people risk facing winter without reliable heat or electricity.

For families living close to the frontline, the cold can turn an already difficult situation into a life-threatening one.

That’s why we’re mobilising Dutch businesses, partners and volunteers to provide practical winter support – from heaters and power batteries, to warm clothing, sleeping bags, essential household and hygiene items.

The first trucks with winter shipment are now on their way to Ukraine – many more are needed.

Here’s how you can help

Donate goods

Do you have products that could help people stay warm, safe and healthy this winter? We’re looking for warm clothing, sleeping bags, blankets, heaters, power stations and other essential items.

Support financially

Your donation directly helps us purchase essential winter aid, from power supplies and batteries to generators and other critical equipment.

Mobilise your company

Your company can contribute more than goods. Bring your people, expertise, network, storage or logistics capacity to the campaign.

Volunteer with your team

Bring your colleagues to the warehouse and help us sort, pack and prepare donations for shipment to Ukraine.

Open your network

Vita Kovalenko Director LifeLine Ukraine

“For people living close to the frontline, winter brings another layer of uncertainty. When power and heating are disrupted, practical items like warm clothing, sleeping bags and other essentials can make a real difference. We see every day where support is needed most, and we are committed to making sure these donations reach the communities that need them.”

From Dutch businesses to communities in Ukraine

People for People works closely with LifeLine Ukraine, RCC and other NGOs on the ground to make sure support reaches the places where it is needed most.

The LifeLine Ukraine team on the ground knows local communities and their needs and coordinates the distribution of aid. The first winter support will reach communities in and around Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv and Kherson.

This is what practical solidarity looks like: businesses providing goods, people giving their time, partners opening their networks and logistics teams making it possible to move help where it matters.

And we’re only getting started.
