Eating without barriers
In May 2025, the entire amount for the project was raised. Thanks to your support, we purchased food products worth 9,896.00 (nine thousand eight hundred and ninety-six) hryvnias and disposable tableware for organising regular hot meals worth 15,500.00 (fifteen thousand five hundred) hryvnias. Bank fees amounted to 104 (one hundred and four) hryvnias. The food was prepared by volunteers at our social space and distributed to people who had previously been identified as vulnerable. At our humanitarian headquarters at 18 Ruska Street, Berdychiv, 600 complete meals were distributed over three months, and 240 meals were delivered by volunteers to the homes of beneficiaries.
Hot meals included side dishes, meat, salads, bread, and sometimes fruit. The food met the needs of the elderly: it was easily digestible, nutritious, and fresh.
For people who could not move independently, volunteers organised home delivery.
Key results:
Indicator Quantity
Total number of participants 35 people (10 – delivery, 25 – on site)
Number of days of preparation 24 days (twice a week for three months)
Total number of portions prepared 840 hot meals
Delivery by volunteers 240 portions (for 10 people at home)
Distribution on site 600 portions (for 25 people)
We received many grateful reviews from our beneficiaries. People expressed their sincere gratitude for the attention, care and hot meals. Here are a few quotes:
• ‘I am 82 years old, I live alone, and when they bring me a hot meal, it's like a gift from heaven...’
• ‘Thank you for remembering us. I have no one, but you are like family...’
Fundraising for the project is complete! Thanks to your support, we were able to not only feed the elderly, but also give them a sense of dignity, importance, warmth and care. This project proved that even simple food, provided with love, can change lives. We sincerely thank all donors for their contribution to the implementation of this project!
