Philanthropists continue to do good deeds and help Ukrainians in difficult times. The Coca-Cola company decided to help people who suffered from the war and found themselves in difficult life situations in order to give them a little joy and comfort for the winter holidays.
For this purpose, the Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine company produced a batch of 1 million one and a half liter bottles of Coca-Cola drink with a special mark on the label – For you. A drink from a special series is distributed to Ukrainians who find themselves in trouble to cheer them up at least a little.
Vladislav Kolesnik, an employee and volunteer of the Coca-CoIa company, said:
Now watching
– These are special bottles. To help Ukrainians, Coca-Colia specially produced 1 million bottles. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that a new label was developed with the note, because this is Coca-Cola For you.
The charity event covered the whole of Ukraine. On the eve of the holidays, the Coca-Cola company joined the volunteers of the Scottish organization Siobhan’s Trust and the M.R.I.Y. charitable foundation to treat Ukrainians with delicious pizza and the Coca-CoIa drink.
During the full-scale war, volunteers of the Scottish organization Siobhan’s Trust and the charitable foundation M.R.I.Y. Made one and a half million pizzas. In February 2022, they fed displaced people on the Polish border. Then the truck traveled tens of thousands of kilometers across Ukraine. Volunteers treat residents of front-line and liberated territories, which are constantly being shelled by the enemy, with pizza.
On the eve of the holidays, charitable organizations and the Coca-Cola company visited the city of Dergachi, Kharkov region, with a kitchen on wheels.
Nina Evtushenko, director of the M.R.I.Ya. charitable foundation, says:
– The project exists thanks to donations from people all over the world. These are large companies that donate pizza for Ukrainians. Now we have the honor to take part in the project One million bottles from Coca-CoIa. On the eve of the holidays, we distribute not only pizza, but also Coca-Cola. This is a cool combo we can do together.
Several dozen pizzas were cooked in the ovens at the same time – these were gifts for the residents of Dergachi from Scottish philanthropists. These are volunteers from America, Great Britain, and Korea. One of the volunteers, 57-year-old Kevin, is from Africa. He is wearing a Ukrainian embroidered shirt, and on his arm is a tattoo with the coat of arms of Ukraine. Our goal is to bake at least a thousand pizzas, the Santas say.

Kevin Fisher, a volunteer from Zimbabwe, commented:
– Every contribution is important – small or large. We support Ukraine, because it is important to show the whole world that volunteers from everywhere are standing next to you. We will continue to travel to all corners of the country – from Kherson, Kharkov to Odessa, and help you.
Dergachevskaya community borders on Russia, a significant part of it was occupied, almost the entire community was disfigured by shelling. Volunteers say they couldn’t help but come here.
People savored good pizza with Coca-Cola, and shared their impressions that this, although small, was a holiday that pleases the soul in difficult times for Ukraine.
The gifts were also brought to the city of Chernigov to provide them to people who need help. The philanthropists visited a modular town where many people affected by the war live. Almost a hundred people settled here. These are mostly pensioners who are left without a home. Each of them is waiting for help and support.
The local residents barely survive on a meager pension, so they are happy when volunteers support them. The Ukrainian Red Cross together with philanthropists is taking care of these people. Today they again brought humanitarian aid: hygiene products, as well as drinks from a special batch of Coca-Cola.
Natalia Silenok, chairman of the Chernihiv regional organization of the Ukrainian Red Cross, noted:
– The Red Cross continually supports people by meeting their basic needs. This time we brought hygiene kits. We were also joined by the Coca-Cola company, which provided its products for the holidays in order to support and help people a little.
The philanthropists promise such support in the future.
Since the first days of the war, the Coca-Colia company has been helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian war. Philanthropists donated generators and mobile boiler rooms, bedding sets and food packages. Coca-Cola is also restoring a destroyed kindergarten in the Kyiv region.
In total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the company has provided more than $30 million in assistance to the Ukrainians. And to give a little joy during the holidays, we produced a special series of 1 million bottles of drinks with the inscription For you.
