Ukraine Needs Our Help
Roswell Rotary Rally to Ukraine

Volunteers Needed to Pack Donations & Donate Funds

Rotary District 6900 is proud to support a coalition of Rotarians in and surrounding Ukraine for humanitarian aid. Rotary Districts 2241 (Romania/Moldova) and 2232 (Ukraine/Belarus) have been creating crucial supply chain logistics and awareness of what is needed on the ground at this time.

Our district leadership and Rotarians from RC Buckhead and RC Stone Mountain have worked to air ship 10 pallets of needed items already. Effort are still underway to acquire needed medicines, medical supplies, orthotics and many other items that we are planning to ship via air in the upcoming 2-3 weeks.

Ways Roswell Rotary Can Help:

Pack Donations: Volunteers needed to pack medical supply donations Friday, April 1 from 9am to 1pm at 4900 Lewis Road, Stone Mountain GA 30083 You can e-mail or call David Carroll davidcarroll@fodac.org or 770 491-9014 ext. 124 to check available time slots.

Donate Funds in one of two ways:

  1. You can donate funds to Rotary District 6900 Charitable Fund which will be transferred to the Rotary District 2241 (Romania/Moldova). Donations to this fund will be used for Ukraine Humanitarian Aid.
  2. You can donate to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund*. The Rotary Disaster Response Fund can accept cash donations from individuals and clubs, as well as DDF contributions. It is a general disaster-related reserve, and contributions cannot be designated for specific events.

*If you donate to the Rotary Foundation's Disaster Response Fund, this counts toward EREY and Paul Harris and donations between now and April 30 go toward direct humanitarian aid in Ukraine. From Rotary Foundation website: Although it is separate from the >Annual Fund, contributions to the Disaster Response Fund count toward Every Rotarian, Every Year; Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member; Paul Harris Fellow; Paul Harris Society; Major Donor; and Arch Klumph Society recognition. They also count toward club recognition opportunities. For donations questions see a club officer, Leslie Bassett, Danny Tompkins, or Elwyn Gaissert.
