A humanitarian hub for volunteer field missions

When the full-scale war began, the team that created CHORNOBYL HUB - CHORNOBYL TOUR and the Volunteer Center CHORNOBYL - took on the coordination of aid. The headquarters was spread over different points of the city: the Hub is an open courtyard, and in the first days of the war it was simply impossible to work there. What the team did then is told on the Volunteer Center CHORNOBYL website.
From March 2022 the Hub worked as a humanitarian hub for field missions. Medicines, food, hygiene products, animal food and equipment were brought here, sorted and packed, and cars set off from here to soldiers and to people in the liberated villages of Kyiv region - the runs to Ivankiv and villages after liberation are a separate story.
On April 14, 2022, as soon as Kyiv region was liberated, the teams of the Hub and the Volunteer Center gathered in the courtyard for the first time since the invasion began - hugs, tears and plans for new runs.
Body armour from the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and medical aid from Europe arrived here and were passed on to those waiting for them. More about equipment for soldiers.
In the summer military souvenirs for the charity shop were made here.
The Podil volunteer team Save Ukraine Team also worked in the courtyard all the time and later thanked the Hub as a partner for supporting its headquarters. And in July 2022 the Resistance 2022 exhibition opened here.
