Allison Webber, a Lincoln junior at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, is organizing a drive to collect humanitarian and medical supplies for those affected by the war in Ukraine on Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the high school tennis courts.
Donated supplies will be transported to Nuday (a nonprofit that provides aid for women and children impacted by humanitarian crises worldwide) in Derry, N.H., and loaded on a container to the Ukrainian border. Items being sought are protein bars, diapers, hygiene items, feminine pads, pasta, rice, acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), antibiotic creams and bandages.
Allison is enrolled in a Russian history class covering the current war in Ukraine. She also volunteers focusing on food insecurity. Both have inspired her to launch a drive and support Ukraine refugees, particularly women and children.
