Many members and volunteers have asked us what they can do to support Ukraine and if they can fundraise to make a donation to organizations providing aid to the people of Ukraine. GSUSA has informed us that fundraising restrictions have been lifted by the GSUSA Board of Directors through Friday, September 30, 2022 to enable Girl Scouts to raise money in support of our sister Girl Guides and their volunteers and families who are being impacted by the war in Ukraine. Please note that this is a voluntary activity and there is no requirement to raise money for Ukraine.
If you are interested in supporting, here are some ways that girls can offer their support:
CARE – Ukraine Crisis Fund—collecting funds to send immediate aid—food, water, hygiene kits, and services; prioritizes support for women, girls, and the elderly.
Doctors without Borders—supporting with medical help and supplies
International Rescue Committee—global humanitarian aid and relief organization that supports refugees around the world.
Save the Children – Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund—international humanitarian organization that is focused on improving the lives of children around the world in addition to providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts.
United Help Ukraine—Maryland-based volunteer organization that funds first aid kits, humanitarian relief, and emergency medical care
Voices of Children—Ukrainian organization supporting children with psycho-social support.
World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts Emergency Relief Appeal—an emergency appeal fund to support Member Organizations involved in the crisis around Ukraine and to provide other humanitarian support in response to this emergency.
