Mission:
Sunflower Seeds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works in partnership with public and private organizations to raise awareness and resources for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine’s defense of democracy.
Vision:
The vision of Sunflower Seeds is to mobilize Huntington and the surrounding Tri-State to support Ukrainians in their efforts to preserve their democracy, ease suffering, and rebuild housing and infrastructure. The larger hope is to create a model that will inspire communities across the Nation thus multiplying support for the Ukrainian people many times over.
Why Donate?
Your donation to Sunflower Seeds Inc. is necessary for the delivery of vital humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees and war victims.
Sunflower Seeds enjoys a unique partnership with caring teams in Orange, France, Ridgewood, NJ, and Athens, OH. All three have close ties to refugee camps, medics in the field, and Ukrainian Health Ministries, respectively. We thus benefit from their insights into real-time needs on the ground in both the refugee camps and in Ukraine.
Since the onset of the war in February 2022, our French partners have orchestrated six convoys, each transporting 2200 pounds of critical supplies encompassing essential necessities such as: food, hygiene items, medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. Likewise, HH4U has made over 100 shipments to medics and hospitals inside Ukraine. Little wing Relief works has provided nearly $500,000 in supplies of all kinds to UA First Aid in Kyiv, Ukraine
Your donation will help to provide essential supplies, such as:
- 1 Military Grade Medical Backpack with Supplies: $1115
- 1 Case of MRE’s (12 count): $112
- 1 Military Grade Hemorrhage Kit: $75
- 20 Boxes of Tylenol (24 count): $64
- 1 Case of Boost Protein Drink (24 count): $56
- 1 Combat Tourniquet: $23
By contributing to Sunflower Seeds, you become part of a supply chain that begins in the Huntington/Tri-State area, through Orange, France, Ridgewood, NJ, and Athens, OH to Ukrainian refugee camps in Poland and to physicians and medics in the field.
