Since our last report, Distribute Aid has delivered several aid shipments to refugees, asylum seekers, and people on the move in Europe. Our partners are especially to thank for this, as they know how harsh conditions are for people on the move over the winter months. They wanted to help us and our partners prepare and make sure they have supplies in place to minimise cold exposure, hunger, and injuries due to the cold climate.
Protective gear to people-on-the-move in northern France
In October, we sent about 3,000 critical aid items to grassroots groups working in northern France, including 1,000 tents and 500 sleeping bags.
Protection from the elements is essential during the fall and winter, since many are forced to live outdoors during cold nights and have to walk long distances during the days.
New donations:
Hygiene items
During this reporting period, we were offered a wonderful donation of toothpaste, a frequently requested item from our grassroots partners. We were able to send 10,000 tubes of toothpaste to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece, and to civilians in Ukraine

Upcoming support:
We currently have a shipment of aid ready to send to refugees and asylum seekers in the Balkans. Your support to this campaign would help us be able to send it in the coming weeks, ahead of the freezing winter months!
