These funds will be used for this second trip and to meet the future needs of the people who have come to Spain.

The journey will made by bus and van to bring 45 women, seniors and children from Ukraine. In Poland, the first stop will be in the city of Wrocław, where all of the humanitarian aid collected will be delivered. Once the essentials have been delivered, the journey will continue on to Warsaw, where Fundación Madrina has arranged for the Ukrainian families to be collected to start their journey to Spain. Once in Spain, the Foundation will place them with their host families. 

Over recent years, Banca March has run numerous volunteering actions in which all employees have become involved. On this occasion, the response of Banca March employees has been enthusiastic and the number of volunteers for the journey, the contributions of bare essentials to take to the border with Ukraine and the donations for purchasing the materials needed have exceeded all expectations.  

The necessary items that are being requested from the border areas and Ukraine mainly include food, medical supplies, vitamins for women and children, sleeping bags, blow-up mattresses, blankets, tinned foods, pasta, oil, coffee, towels, bars of soap, shower gel, underwear, socks and nappies.
