The Ukraine crisis is both heartbreaking and devastating. And, once again, we see the powerful role that logistics and supply chain play in the global economy—for good and for bad. Our team and many other like-minded individuals around the world are dedicated to “logistics with purpose,” and are determined to use our resources and expertise to make a difference for the people of Ukraine.
Below you’ll find a list of needs that have been reported to us as well as partners, friends, and organizations we trust. If we can serve you in any way, please reach out. And a big thank you to everyone who has already taken action. We are grateful to be among you as we #StandWithUkraine.
Join our “Leveraging Logistics for Ukraine” conversations, co-hosted by Vector and Supply Chain Now, every other Tuesday at 11 am ET. Register for the May 24th chat here.

Here are some of our clients, friends, partners, and peers who are actively working in Ukraine or in nearby countries to serve refugees.
There are many more worthy organizations working on this effort. However, there are also people willing to take advantage of this terrible situation. To avoid scams and research your options, visit Charity Navigator or Give Well.
It will take all of us working together to fight against tyranny and fight for freedom. We encourage everyone to take action, no matter how small. Every person can make a difference.
The Vector team is currently assessing needs, making connections, offering advice, and quoting shipments as well as financially supporting multiple organizations.
Additionally, we will be sponsoring the ocean shipping of two containers per month over the next four months (and possibly beyond) because this war will have long-term consequences with lasting effects. Please contact us if you would like to include your products or be a part of this effort. Also, we are looking for companies to sponsor more containers so that aid to Ukraine is increased.*
And a big thank you to Books For Africa for offering warehouse space for consolidation!
Please contact us for where to ship or items or further inquiries: [email protected].

* Sponsored containers handled by Vector are not tax-deductible, but will be billed as regular shipments.
