On the headquarter's website it is noted that volunteers are also engaged in:

  • organization, sorting and shipment of humanitarian aid to displaced people in Lviv and cities suffering from the aggressor;
  • additional staffing of the military;
  • weaving camouflage nets;
  • sewing sleeping bags, production of turnstiles.
