Holiday Giving Campaign

As the war in Ukraine stretches into another cold winter, we need your help to provide essential supplies to defenders and ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down by the conflict.

The Holiday Giving Campaign has concluded.

Summary Report

In the weeks leading up to 2024, we ran our most ambitious and dynamic fundraising campaign since the full-scale invasion began. We set our Holiday Giving Campaign goal high at $100,000, and thanks to you we were able to raise $100,197!

Thank you—to each and every one of you! Those who gave during the holiday season, those that provided a few generous matching donations, and those who have given at other times throughout the past 22 months. Together, we make a difference. Together, we help Ukrainians stand up for what’s right.

Purchase gifts for loved ones and help save lives

SFSU decor, clothing, and accessories make meaningful gifts for family and friends. Each time you buy merchandise from our store, you’re gifting an item to a defender.

I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine and I still consider Ukraine a sort of home. As the war in Ukraine stretches through its 2nd year, the impact on the defenders and civilians in harms way continues to compound. I hear this from my friends and family in Ukraine - many people are unable to leave and many want to stay and defend their home. I know many of us are all feeling exhausted but our support is needed now more than ever, especially as other sources of support falter.
