The ASC for Ukraine student initiative aims to provide immediate help to Ukrainian refugees in the Mokotów district. Nearby our faculty there are institutions that constantly experience shortages of food, cosmetics, and clothes. Together we can help them.

How can you get involved?

Join ASC Sandwich Team

The ASC Students’ Union makes available room 312 for volunteers willing to make and deliver sandwiches for Ukrainian refugees, who await receiving their PESEL number every day in the Consular Section of the Embassy of Ukraine (Malczewskiego 17) and Mokotów District Office (Rakowiecka 25/27).

How do we organize?
Like this page to be up to date with all the announcements! We will regularly post about the times when we want to meet and prepare food together. If you want to join our team on a chosen date, you can do it by adding a comment declaring what type and amount of products you want to bring with you. Let us know if you also can deliver food to a certain place.

Collections

Collection points at Rzymowskiego 36 and Puławska 20 are in constant need of certain goods (food with distant expiry date, clothes, cosmetics). We will regularly inform about their current needs in posts on this site. You may bring things and put them into a designated box in the ASC (more details to be announced soon). Remember not to contribute products that have already been in use, and things that are not requested at particular times.

Suggestions?

If you know about any other kind of support that we at the ASC can provide, or if you would like to suggest a new initiative, please contact our site directly. Thank you for your effort.
