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.

The address of the coordination headquarters is Lazarenko Street, 42. Contacts in social networks chat on Telegram and group on Facebook.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wroe, that eco-activists called on Kharkiv residents to upcycle metal cans and corrugated cardboard for the production of trench candles. After all with the onset of the cold season, trench candles are becoming more and more important for soldiers.
