Here are verified sites that would interest this list regarding ways to help
Ukrainian refugees, Jews and others, from a Los Angeles group called Jews
United for Democracy:
Many have asked for our suggestions of non-profit organizations aiding
Ukrainians impacted by Russia's invasion. While there are many outstanding
organizations mobilizing to bring humanitarian aid and assistance to those
wounded, displaced and otherwise impacted by the war, we are listing
organizations below with whom our leadership team has personal experience.
I. To aide Ukrainian Jews, many of whom are elderly survivors of the
holocaust, this Fund was established by the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles;
100% of all monies collected are being distributed to 4 different Jewish
organizations which are providing direct assistance to Ukraine's Jewish
community. Donations are tax deductible.

2. This organization, with whom we have direct contact, and whom our
leadership team has worked with over the past many years, is headquartered in
Poland and has created this Ukraine assistance fund which distributes money to
14 grass roots organizations on the ground in Ukraine and Poland . Donations
made are not tax deductible in the US. FYI, there are 4.5 zloty to the US
dollar; $100 US= 450 zloty.
3. Direct Relief has established this special Ukraine fund and is working
directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Health and other partners in the region to
provide requested medical aid, from oxygen concentrators to critical care
medicines – while preparing to offer longer-term medical aid to people
displaced or affected by the conflict. Donations are tax-deductible.
4. HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is responding with HIAS emergency
humanitarian assistance to those who are displaced. A HIAS response team is in
Poland assisting Ukrainians — Jews and others — as they cross into Poland.
Donations are tax-deductible.

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Association of Jewish Libraries Statement on Ukraine
Colleagues, if you know about *verified* ways to help, please add to this
thread.
I'll start with a library/DH initiative to preserve digital archives
(sucho.org), of which a significant percentage on the current list have some
Jewish aspect.
Please especially share verified channels you've seen to help the people -
lives are obviously the most important here.

The Association of Jewish Libraries expresses deep concern for and solidarity
with the people of Ukraine. We are devastated over the loss of life and
destruction of property and wish to offer support in any way we can to assist
in this very difficult situation. There are many important Judaica collections
in Ukraine, including in the state libraries, archives large and small,
museums, and university collections in the hard-hit cities of Kharkov and Kyiv,
as well as throughout the country. We are hoping and praying for the safety and
care of the custodians of these collections, many of whom are friends and
colleagues, and for their families and the broader Ukrainian nation. Please
know that we stand with you in these trying times.
