Who We Are

A small organization built around a simple idea: help should reach people who need it.

HelpWay is a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation created to organize practical humanitarian support for people and communities affected by the war in Ukraine.

Behind every shipment are ordinary people — families who have been displaced, children whose lives have been disrupted, and communities rebuilding after loss.

Our role is to turn the willingness to help here in California into organized, responsible support that can reach people there.

Why HelpWay Exists

Behind every shipment are people.

Humanitarian aid exists to support people whose everyday lives have been changed by war, displacement, and loss.
