Whether in marketing, IT, account management, customer relationship, graphic design, and more - even as a nonprofit organization, we face big challenges that must be overcome. Would you like to support us with your expertise as a volunteer? We'd love to have you get involved in any of the areas listed!

Who we are

We are "München Hilft Ukraine e.V." - a non-profit association based in Munich. We help the refugees from Ukraine and people in Ukraine who suffer the consequences of war. We started volunteering activities on the 24.02.2022 - the first day of the war in Ukraine. We have grown from 0 to a community of 2300+ volunteers. Together, we have raised 0.5M€+ of donations and shipped more than 3000 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which reached thousands of people. We also helped thousands of refugees in Munich.

We now focus on helping Ukrainian hospitals, orphanages, elderly houses, and other the most vulnerable populations in Ukraine. We collect donations in Germany and buy medicine, medical equipment, food, clothes, & other goods for people in Ukraine.

We automate the MHU processes with digital tools, increasing the efficiency of volunteers and saving time and managerial efforts. Therefore, our volunteers can deliver significant results by committing to a few weekly hours.

Please be aware that our charity currently dedicates almost 100% of the donations we get to cover the need of those suffering from the war in Ukraine. Therefore we can't pay any salaries at this moment.
