Help Ukrainian Refugees: District 7450 Gundaker Foundation Relief Fund Set

As of today, more than 1.9 million Ukrainian refugees — mostly women and children — have crossed the border into Poland. I’m writing with details about a simple way we can all help with this humanitarian crisis. 

You can now make a monetary donation to the Rotary District 7450 Gundaker Foundation Ukrainian Relief Fund. It will provide direct financial support for Rotary District 2231, which covers all of Poland. That district has organized an impressive relief effort, led by DGE Piotr Jankowski (pictured). Their Rotarians are providing housing, food, medical and other supplies, transportation, and care for refugees. They are also coordinating relief efforts at the border with Rotary in Ukraine.

All donations to this fund will be transferred to a specific bank account set up by Rotary Poland so they can quickly respond to people's needs.

This is an example of how Rotarians truly are People of Action!  Once we established contact with Poland’s District 2231, our Gundaker Foundation quickly created the Relief Fund, providing an easy way for all of us to make a positive impact. 

Because of ongoing communications with Jankowski in Poland, we are confident our contributions will be put to good use. His volunteers know what will ease refugees’ suffering the most. Our financial support will enable Rotary Poland to respond quickly and effectively to a dynamic situation.

Please consider donating to the Rotary District 7450 Gundaker Foundation Ukrainian Relief Fund. And please share this Rotary message with family, friends, and colleagues, inviting them to contribute too. A donation of any amount will help.

Gundaker Foundation President Karen Mazzarella-Russo and I thank you for your caring and providing some hope during this difficult time.

Roger Taylor,
District Governor, Rotary District 7450
