For over 75 years, the aid by packages and containers is one of the largest and constant actions by UUARC.

A number of urgent needs in Ukraine are addressed by UUARC every year through the Container Program. This includes the inability of Ukraine's current social service system to adequately provide Ukrainian people affordable access to basic needs such as food, medicine, shoes, and clothing. UUARC supplements this need with 40 ft containers, which transport and distribute medical and educational supplies.

With the independence of Ukraine in 1991, the shipment of containers increased since post WWII, because of a grant recieved from USAID. To date, over 70 20, 40 and 55 ft. containers with medical and educational supplies, books, medicine, clothing, food, shoes, linens, etc. have been sent to Ukraine. Volunteers of UUARC in Philadelphia pack and prepare the containers, and the director, representatives, and volunteers in Ukraine help to distribute the packages. 

Since 2013, all containers are paid for in full by UUARC, who depends on both the material and financial contributions from donors like you.
