Hot Meals For War-Weary Ukrainians
Help Us Feed Thousands Of Frontline Villagers In Ukraine
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
We are Jason from the United States and Amy from New Zealand. Last year, we created Never Alone - Humanitarian Kitchen for Ukraine. With the incredible support of the New Zealand people, we made our dream of bringing hot, nourishing meals to people living on the edge of the war in Ukraine a reality.
We spent three months cooking soups, stews, ragù, salads, and even cookies out of abandoned apartments close to the front lines. During this time, we fed 2,000 people. Time and time again, villagers would tell us that we had made them feel like they hadn’t been forgotten. It was hearing things like this that pushed us through some very difficult circumstances and motivated us to continue cooking and delivering food to people living in a nightmare.
We also helped the troops fighting for Ukraine's freedom by purchasing and delivering a range of equipment, including thermal clothing, generators, Starlinks, diesel heaters, drone jammers, medical supplies, water filtration systems, and vehicles.
Now we need to do it all again. The war is engulfing more of Ukraine every day, leaving thousands in dire situations. We can’t end the war, but we can definitely provide a moment of respite to those who have suffered far too much.
Help us return to Ukraine and continue our work!

Latest update
Overdue Update! 2 September 2025
Our mission in Ukraine has just ended, and Jason and I are back in our home countries. We are exhausted, mentally and physically, but we are happy. We achieved more than we could have hoped for, and fed almost 1,000 people more than on our previous mission.
We have left Ukraine with heavy hearts though. Days after leaving the country, Russia launched one of the most deadly attacks of the war. Villages that we delivered fresh food and hygiene supplies to only a few weeks ago have now been evacuated. More and more land is slowly being occupied and hope for peace feels further than ever before.
Our impact in Ukraine is small, we are only two people. But behind us stands YOU and all the New Zealanders who have supported us, and believed in Ukraine and its right to an independent future. While Jason and I aren't in Ukraine, we ask you to continue your support for the country in whatever way you can. This doesn't need to be financial. It can be as simple as improving your knowledge on the situation and being able to detect misinformation surrounding the war.
We would also like to make ourselves available for any questions you might have. You can connect with us through our Facebook page.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all of you. You have helped us spread hope in Ukraine and see that there is still so much more light out there than darkness.
We will have some plans coming up that we will announce soon. Please keep and eye out. Thank you
