Bedford-based NH4Ukraine.org begins its 5th year providing humanitarian aid in Ukraine
The nonprofit has been providing DIRECT humanitarian assistance in Ukraine since March 2022
As the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, Bedford resident Brian Nolen and the volunteers of NH4Ukraine.org are once again on the ground in eastern Ukraine for another year-long humanitarian mission.
Since 2022, NH4Ukraine.org has delivered food, hygiene supplies, and other essential aid directly to civilians living in communities devastated by the war. In addition to assisting food pantries in their home base city of Kharkiv, NH4Ukraine.org focuses on reaching isolated villages and frontline communities where aid is often scarce and residents have few options for assistance.
Over the past four years, the organization has delivered hundreds of thousands of pounds of aid to elderly residents, displaced families, and others struggling to survive amid ongoing shelling, drone attacks, and widespread destruction.

"Our mission is simple," said Nolen. "We bring practical help directly to people who need it most. Many of the people we meet are elderly, have limited mobility, and have nowhere else to go. For them, the help we provide can make a real difference."
The organization receives no government funding and is powered entirely by donations from individuals. Every dollar donated helps purchase wholesale food, bread, hygiene products, and other necessities for civilians affected by the war.

Every $25 donated will provide emergency food assistance to a family.
Community support remains essential.
