Hey, amazing people!
We’re the No Name Kitchen team, a group of dedicated activists supporting People on the Move at the Bosnian-Croatian border in Bihac.
Every day, we distribute food, clothes, medical supplies, and hygiene products to those who face violent pushbacks and struggle with evictions, lack of shelter, or proper food and heating.
But now, we need your help with a crucial challenge: Food!
While we receive generous donations of second-hand clothes, we’re currently running short on food supplies. In October & November we had a particularly high demand of food packs and vouchers as part of our border outreach that made us burn through our modest budgets faster than expected. This means fundraising efforts are necessary for getting to the end of the month, and when current dynamics continue, the end of the year.
Most of the violent pushbacks in the area currently happen on the border road between Velika Kladusa and Bihać. After being violently returned to Bosnia, there is often a 4 to 7 hour walking journey ahead to the nearest shelter. While we can't provide transport, energy in the form of food support is the most requested item on the road. Through collaboration with local partner stores in the vicinity of the border, we can provide up to 60 people on the move with vouchers for food, every month. The current demand for vouchers for food is at least triple as high. On a similar line, requests for food packs in the Bihać area exceed the current maximum amount of 350 meals we can supply with current means.
If you donate 5 € , you can give three food bags or provide a voucher for one person on the move.
Our aim is raise €2000 to make sure we can keep on providing sufficient food support until the end of the year and keep on providing vouchers for food for every person returning from Croatia.
Can we count on you?
Disclaimer!
We are committed to transparency and ensuring that every donation is used effectively to support people seeking refuge. Please note that the allocation of funds may be subject to change based on the evolving needs of those we assist.
For example, by the time a donation arrives, we may have already procured shoes or received donations of used shoes, or we might find a greater need for sleeping bags or backpacks. Regardless of these shifts, every contribution will be directed towards essential items that make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.
Your support will help provide crucial supplies to survive the cold, long nights, and challenging journeys as they seek safety and security.
Together, we can make it happen!
Thank you for your support and solidarity.
