"We have already provided assistance with 260 requests, which ware report on the official company website: eva.ua/ua/eva-dopomagae. But now our warehouses are almost empty, so we are asking for your help in further supporting the Ukrainian people."
The retailer is seeking the following types of items for distribution: food, personal care products for adults and babies, cleaning products and detergents. These can be either branded or private label products, provided the shipment of which does not require coordination with suppliers.
