Help bring these relief supplies to the border

Below is a list of the most requested goods, this text and list have been compiled based on feedback from the riders on the spot.


Highest priority items!

  • Medicines (painkillers, bandages etc.). We have an extensive medication list, this is available on request (app Loes). A point of attention is that this medication is only available on prescription in the Netherlands. They are more readily available across the border in Germany and Poland.
  • Thermo blankets and sleeping bags
  • Food with a long shelf life, such as: Flour, rice, beans, water, canned food, juice (for children), food suitable for children & babies. Buying these items on location is cheaper than taking them with you!

Tip for medicines: Medicines are best obtained from pharmacists. There are a lot of medicines leftover which pharmacists often donate to poor countries. Hopefully, they have not done this yet and it can go to Ukraine.
