Donate to Red Cross or UNICEF for Ukraine at any post office

Financial donations for the UNICEF and Red Cross Ukrainian crisis appeals may be made at any post office, Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings.   An Post and Postmasters have waived the fees normally payable for such transactions so the entirety of donations will go to the two charities.

An Post is also making arrangements to provide any displaced Ukrainian citizens who come to Ireland with an An Post Current Account to enable their everyday banking, as well as access to its Address Point service which provides a secure, personal address to people who are homeless or living in temporary accommodation.  

An Post and the Communications Workers Union have also put a truck and drivers at the disposal of the Irish Red Cross, should they require such transport for goods  to Ukraine or a neighbouring country in the future.   For now,  however, the focus is on encouraging cash donations which can used to buy specific emergency medical, food and personal supplies closer to where they are most needed.
