Join our volunteer initiative to support defenders of Ukraine.

Dear friends!

Ukraine continues its heroic resistance against Russian aggression.

We invite you to join the RIY Vancouver initiative, focused on supporting Ukraine's defenders on the frontlines.

The volunteer movement Save Ukrainian Soldier began its work in Vancouver at the start of the war, in March 2022. In 2023, we expanded our efforts by establishing an initiative called RIY Vancouver.

In April 2024, we introduced the option of monthly support, allowing everyone to contribute to regular assistance for the military. With your help, we are building a strong foundation for our shared fight for Ukraine's freedom.

Every contribution you make strengthens our army and brings victory closer.

Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

*** "RIY" stands for the Ukrainian word "РІЙ," which translates to "Hive" or "Swarm" in English.

Achievements of our effort:

Since its founding, our initiative has delivered over 5,000 tactical medical kits and other vital equipment, contributed to fundraising efforts for vehicles, warm clothing, and other necessary equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Additionally, we supported the Maple Hope Foundation and the Ukrainian Cultural Society in delivering a Sikorsky helicopter for military medics.

Volunteers of Ukraine

Volunteers of the RIY Vancouver initiative have been honored with awards from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and various units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as volunteer divisions.
