About

Help Ukraine Now in downtown San Diego's Middletown district is a 501(c)(3) humanitarian nonprofit founded in March 2022 with EIN 88-1095749, days after the full-scale Russian invasion. The organization channels under one percent of its total budget to administrative costs, directing nearly all donated funds toward medical supply procurement, evacuation vehicles, and winter relief kits shipped through vetted Ukrainian distribution partners—a logistics-first model that parallels the refugee legal intake work at Casa Cornelia Law Center elsewhere downtown. Rather than shipping bulk aid trans-Atlantic, Help Ukraine Now procures supplies directly within Ukraine and Europe, eliminating freight delays and reducing per-unit costs on items like thermal underwear sets and first-aid kits. The Kettner Boulevard headquarters also coordinates San Diego-based resettlement support for arriving Ukrainian families, connecting them to local poverty-assistance infrastructure through organizations like Community Action Partnership. The nonprofit's largest single commitments include $135,000 allocated to demining operations across three Ukrainian regions and a $100,000 pledge at the UNITED24 summit to rebuild the Velykokostroma school.
