Pizza for Ukraine is a website to make it easy to donate money to fund the delivery of pizza to bomb shelters in the Ukraine.

This site helps you send a pizza or pizzas right now to a Kharkiv bomb shelter, emergency room or someone else who needs it! Hi. This is Mark Bernstein and Scott Johnson. We are both software developers, writers and long time friends. After the Russian invasion in 2022, Mark wanted to help out in the Ukraine war and didn't know what to do. And then he realized that he could feed people just by sending pizza. Scott came into the picture when he saw Mark's message about this on Facebook and offered to build the website. And that gave us: In the end, we sent 9,626 pizzas! In 2024, our pizza partners introduced us to the Sunrise Free Café, a lunch place in Northern Kharkiv, and said “they need…from pizzaforukraine.com
