Does the City collect donations in kind?

The people from Ukraine who have fled to Frankfurt are provided with everything they need here. There is no shortage. Therefore, the City currently does not need donations in kind for the Ukranian refugees in Frankfurt. If that changes, requests are posted on the website frankfurt-hilft.deExternal Link. Various aid organisations and associations collect donations in kind for people in Ukraine or neighbouring countries and transport them there.
