Task Force 824

Providing aid to the people of Ukraine


Our Mission

Thirty years ago on August 24, 1991 (or 824), Ukraine gained it's independence from Russia. Much of the world considers the recent invasion an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, killing more than 2,224 innocent citizens--173 of them children. There remain many more displaced and injured who need aid in the form of food, shelter for families, transportation to the border, and medical supplies. Similar to Task Force Pineapple of Afghanistan, our mission is to fill in the gaps and assist where needed.
