More than 73 tons of bottled water were delivered to residents of the Donetsk People's Republic, Kursk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions as part of the project. Moscow is helpingVolunteers from the capital prepared the humanitarian aid for shipment. It was distributed among those most in need and given to local residents, including those in temporary accommodation centers.
"15 'Moscow Helps' centers have opened in the capital to collect goods for residents of the new regions and border areas. Anyone can bring food items with a shelf life of at least three months: cereals, pasta, canned goods, tea, coffee, sugar, porridge, purees, juices, dry, milk, and milk-free formulas for babies. Personal hygiene products can be donated to the centers: shampoos, toothpastes, toothbrushes, shower gels, soap, wipes, as well as seasonal clothing, blankets, pillows, bed linens, towels, and rubber slippers," explained the resource center's director.

The coordinated support and involvement of volunteers creates a solid foundation for the continued delivery of humanitarian goods. Since 2022, the "Moscow Helps" project has united over 18,300 Moscow volunteers.

How helping becomes a regular occurrence
The project's regional headquarters team
Collaboration with the Mosvolonter resource center began immediately after the region joined Russia in 2022. As Kristina Paraskan, head of the center, notes, Mosvolonter's assistance goes far beyond humanitarian aid: Muscovites support and care for local residents.
"Moscow has supported us from the very first day, and Mosvolonter has become not just a reliable partner organization, but a true friend. The capital's volunteers are a team that supports all our initiatives and all our requests. In addition to regular humanitarian aid, Muscovites are always ready to share advice and provide friendly support," emphasized Kristina Paraskan.
For example, in June 2025, when a regional emergency occurred and headquarters urgently requested bottled water, volunteers from Moscow quickly delivered the supplies. The volunteers personally distributed the water to local administrations and military personnel.
The headquarters also trains volunteers and recently launched a new project, "WeAreTogether_Search," which focuses on finding missing persons.

Regional Headquarters Team
Today, all aid is distributed transparently and equitably, taking into account the needs of frontline communities and special categories of citizens—children, the elderly, and people with limited mobility. Support from the capital allows the Kherson headquarters
Collaboration with the Mosvolonter resource center began in the very first days of the special military operation and has grown into systemic support. As project coordinator Vladimir Shakhov notes, the region's connection to Moscow is more than just a matter of supplies; it's about creating a sustainable aid infrastructure.
"Moscow provides us with increased resources and operational efficiency, which allows us to scale our programs. This kind of home front support is of paramount importance for our region. Our collaboration with Mosvolonter is structured around centralized coordination channels: we share best logistics practices, which directly impacts delivery speed and the number of beneficiaries," noted Vladimir Shakhov.
Humanitarian supplies arrive at regional bases, where both local volunteers and Moscow colleagues assist with logistics and sorting, assisting at every stage—from packaging and inventory to final delivery to recipients.
