Help Us Feed Thousands Of Frontline Villagers In Ukraine

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

We are Jason from the United States and Amy from New Zealand. Last year, we created Never Alone - Humanitarian Kitchen for Ukraine. With the incredible support of the New Zealand people, we made our dream of bringing hot, nourishing meals to people living on the edge of the war in Ukraine a reality.

We spent three months cooking soups, stews, ragù, salads, and even cookies out of abandoned apartments close to the front lines. During this time, we fed 2,000 people. Time and time again, villagers would tell us that we had made them feel like they hadn’t been forgotten. It was hearing things like this that pushed us through some very difficult circumstances and motivated us to continue cooking and delivering food to people living in a nightmare.

We also helped the troops fighting for Ukraine's freedom by purchasing and delivering a range of equipment, including thermal clothing, generators, Starlinks, diesel heaters, drone jammers, medical supplies, water filtration systems, and vehicles.

Now we need to do it all again. The war is engulfing more of Ukraine every day, leaving thousands in dire situations. We can’t end the war, but we can definitely provide a moment of respite to those who have suffered far too much.

Help us return to Ukraine and continue our work!

Finally in Ukraine!  30 May 2025

Yesterday we crossed the border into Ukraine. It is always a surreal experience with a huge mix of emotions. We are excited to see all the people we care about, to continue our project and keep supporting Ukraine in whatever small way we can. Support that you have all made possible. We come here with the pride of knowing that Kiwis thousands of kilometers away care.

We also come with a lot of trepidation. Uncertainty of how this conflict will be resolved seem to grow everyday.

We can't fix the war but we sure can be a light in the darkness and I like to think that counts for something.

We will be posting updates to our Facebook page. If anyone would like to join our email newsletters then please send us a message to neveralone.ua@gmail.com
