🇺🇦 Today, on Ukraine’s Defenders Day, we want to tell you about one man.
His name is Alexander, and he is the father of Max, our Director of Hot Meal Centers in Ukraine.
For nearly five years, Alexander has served in Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
💙💛 Today, honor Alexander—and all of Ukraine’s defenders—with a $10 gift that provides 30 hot meals to the people they are fighting to protect.
The years have taken a toll. His back gives him trouble. He lives with constant pain in his leg. When he can, he gets treatment—but he doesn’t like to stay away for long.
Because his men are still there.
Max told us that the most important thing to his father is that the men under his care are safe. He doesn’t want to leave them.
And perhaps that tells us something about Max, too.
You don’t leave the people who are counting on you.
Alexander won’t leave his men.
And Max won’t leave his teams at our Hot Meal Centers without the food they need to keep cooking—because thousands of seniors and families are counting on them for a meal.
Different front lines. The same determination to care for the people beside you.
Today, we honor Ukraine’s defenders by caring for the people they are fighting for.
🍲 $10 = 30 hot meals.
Honor a defender. Feed someone in Ukraine today.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
