The Ukrainian-American Blood Drive is a gesture of gratitude from Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans to the people of the United States for the substantial aid and support provided to Ukraine in their fight against the Russian invasion. Implemented with the support and endorsement of the American Coalition for Ukraine, this initiative highlights the deep bond between both nations.
While aid and support from the U.S. have saved countless Ukrainian lives, Ukrainians in the United States and the Ukrainian-American diaspora wish to reciprocate by donating blood that will save American lives.
