The transport of 60 tons of food and necessary hygiene products to Ukraine is possible thanks to the cooperation between the owners of Żabka and the city councils of the cities of Warsaw and Kyiv . The Warsaw City Council provides transport to Ukraine , and the owners of Żabka pay for the goods transported.

The humanitarian convoy is another contribution of the Żabka Group - owned by CVC Capital Partners and Partners Group - to the Ukrainian community. Żabka has already delivered nearly 300 tons of food and essential hygiene products to the border in cooperation with our partners: Podkarpackie Voivodeship Office, Polish-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, Polish Red Cross, and Polish Union of Ukrainians. Żabka franchisees are also involved in the relief effort - people running stores near the border distribute warm drinks and snacks, and in other cities organize collections and deliver goods in their cars to the border.

As a responsible organization, Żabka also wants to encourage and provide space to help - listening to the appeals of the aid organizations, as well as implementing the assumptions of its strategy, the chain has launched a program of corporate volunteering. Employees may, inter alia, work for NGOs cooperating with Żabka, as well as help in the support and coordination of donations in the Company Headquarters building.

At the same time, the chain enables its clients to financially support the humanitarian activities of the Polish Humanitarian Action and the Polish Red Cross in the face of the war in Ukraine.  Donations can be made by card or proximity payments - using a watch or phone. Donations collected in this way will be divided equally between the two charities. Żabka pomaga - Żabka Group (zabkagroup.com)
