YOTF launches winter relief campaign for displaced children in Ukraine

Stand with Ukraine YOTF Clothing Program

As temperatures begin to drop across Eastern Europe, YOTF (Youth of the Future) is launching a critical winter relief campaign to support displaced children and families in Ukraine. This initiative will provide warm clothing, thermal gear, and essential hygiene supplies to those most affected by the ongoing crisis.

“Winter is coming, and many children have no safe home, no warm clothing, and no guarantee of comfort or protection,” said Tom Danny Pedersen, CEO of YOTF. “Our mission is to meet this moment with action and compassion — to show these families that they have not been forgotten.”

The campaign is rooted in on-the-ground coordination with local partners and volunteers in Ukraine. It aims to deliver winter boots, insulated jackets, hats, gloves, and basic hygiene kits to thousands of vulnerable children who are currently living in makeshift shelters or overcrowded housing.

This marks the second international aid initiative startup for YOTF in 2025, following its continued plans for Gaza and local programming in Norway and Spain. With growing networks and a rising demand for humanitarian response, YOTF remains committed to helping children survive and thrive, no matter the circumstance.

How to support:
YOTF encourages donors, volunteers, and partners to join the winter campaign by contributing clothing, funds, or logistical support. Donations can be made online HERE.

“Every child deserves to feel safe and warm — not just survive, but feel human again.”
— Tom Danny Pedersen, CEO of YOTF
