About HelpWay
A trusted bridge between generous communities and families in Ukraine.
HelpWay is a California-based nonprofit organization created to connect people who want to help with families and communities in Ukraine that need practical support.
Our work begins locally. Community members donate clean, useful clothing, children’s items, bicycles, household essentials, medical supplies, and other appropriate goods. Our volunteers inspect, sort, organize, and package each donation before it becomes part of a humanitarian shipment to Ukraine.
We believe valuable items should continue serving people rather than going to waste. Every box represents generosity from a local donor and practical assistance for someone facing the consequences of war and hardship.
As HelpWay grows, we plan to build partnerships with individuals, businesses, community groups, and trusted recipients in Ukraine so that more useful aid can reach the people who need it most.
