On February 24 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine.

This year they won’t be able to celebrate Pesach (Passover) in the comfort of their home.
Right now, getting access to kosher food is a great challenge, and Jewish organizations don’t have the necessary room to accommodate everyone for the upcoming seder.
While many Jews have successfully fled Ukraine, many more Jews have not been able to get out,
Caught in the crossfire, with very limited access to food and basic supplies,

This year the Ukrainian Jews have turned to us for help, and we are determined not to let them down.
We’ve put together a Freedom Box so as many Jewish refugees as possible, no matter whether they are still in Ukraine or not, are in transit or are staying put in a bomb shelter, on the go or in a shelter, will be able to celebrate Pesach,
Community4u has set a goal of providing 20,000 Freedom Boxes.
Each Freedom Box will contain all the kosher food that is necessary for X people over seder and the whole of Pesach.
