This month's bag credit earnings are being donated to UNICEF-children of Ukraine
“As Ukraine declared a nationwide state of emergency on Thursday, UNICEF appealed to all warring parties to allow full humanitarian access to families and children who have long suffered the adverse effects of the protracted conflict in the country — and whose lives and well-being are now under even greater threat.”
"‘Heavy weapons fire along the line of contact has already damaged critical water infrastructure and education facilities in recent days,’ UNICEF Executive Director Catherine M. Russell said in a Feb. 24 statement. ‘Unless the fighting subsides, tens of thousands of families could be displaced, dramatically escalating humanitarian needs.’ "
“Fighting has taken an increasingly heavy toll on Ukraine's civilian population — including 510,000 children”
“UNICEF has been working nonstop in eastern Ukraine, delivering lifesaving programs for affected children and families as fighting has taken an increasingly heavy toll on the civilian population of 3.4 million people — including 510,000 children — living in the Donbas region.”
