Anecdotally, I live in Ireland and a number of locals have mobilised to gather food and medicine to send it to Ukraine. Then I came across this article and now think this is happening across the country: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0308/1285137-ireland-ai...
I wouldn’t be surprise if many other communities in Europe are doing the same. The problem might be getting the aid to the right place.
anecdotally - yes. We bought and brought some stuff following that https://www.facebook.com/lnyuz/posts/5490539337642083 (drop-off in San Jose, some people order stuff from Amazon with delivery right to there), and while i don't see food among the list of requested item, boxes packed with donated food were pretty prominent there (and even though food wasn't mentioned we actually brought food too - long term packaged high calories low weight, we thought that probably that may be needed too and it happened so, seems like many people do that).
