Where can I donate supplies?

Ukrainian shipping service Meest-Karpaty is organizing a major effort to send a plane of supplies from Chicago to Kyiv every week, a representative from the company’s location in Palatine said.

They’re looking for military goods, as well as nonperishable food, blankets and clothes, advocates said.

Supplies can be dropped off or shipped to the Chicago location, 6725 W. Belmont Ave. The shipping service is also collecting supplies at 1645 Hicks Road in Rolling Meadows, a representative posted on social media.
