HELP US SHIP THE GEAR!
Getting gear into a war zone isn't simple. International transportation, customs paperwork, and overland delivery across the United States and Europe add up fast, especially for full-sized 40-foot shipping containers loaded floor to ceiling with 40 pallets. But we have experience doing so! In 2024, we shipped four 40-foot containers (together containing 60,000 pounds of gear), the last of which arrived to Ukraine this past month. And in March 2025, we packed another one in Colorado - check out our work in action! Our second 2025 shipment will go out in June, which is why we’ve launched the Ship the Gear! campaign.
Shipping a container costs approximately $10,000, but it’s worth the cost: each one contains enough gear to help 1,000-2,000 Defenders. That works out to just $5-10 per person who receives the aid, making this method much more efficient than any other form of shipping aid from the USA to Ukraine. Your support of Ship the Gear! campaign will help pay for fuel, logistics, and safe delivery from Colorado to our ‘warehouse’ near Rivne, Ukraine. That’s a place from where our own team of Ukrainian volunteers distributes gear to the individual Defenders and small units all across the front line.
