Case Western Reserve University’s Office of Resiliency has organized a number of on-campus locations where individuals can donate supplies to help organizations responding to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
Cleveland-based nonprofit MedWish International, in partnership with Medworks, is collecting a variety of basic and medical supplies to help organizations responding on the ground to the Ukrainian crisis.
