Vinted commits 2M € to humanitarian aid and releases a new donation feature to support the people of Ukraine.

We are shocked and saddened by the war in Ukraine, and we share the views of so many in hoping for a peaceful end to the violence.

Vinted does not operate in Ukraine, but we are a European business, headquartered in Lithuania, with colleagues, partners, family and friends in Ukraine.

We are taking action to support humanitarian efforts towards the people of Ukraine and are committing €2M to a range of humanitarian initiatives and organisations. The first portion of this is concentrated on getting vital supplies and relief into Ukraine through our local networks.

We are also finding ways to help through Vinted, like connecting our members to charities supporting those in need. Now you can send money straight from your Vinted Balance, or via other available payment methods to Médecins du Monde (known as MDM, or Doctors of the World), a humanitarian organisation providing assistance and health services to those affected by the war in Ukraine. The charity will receive 100% of your contribution. Find out more about how to donate in our Help Centre. 

While our company-level response continues to be coordinated, we've seen an overwhelming and heart-warming response from our teams who have come together to volunteer, buy much-needed supplies, and do what they can to provide support to people in or fleeing Ukraine. A portion of the money we have committed comes from our colleagues here at Vinted. 

Our thoughts continue to be with Ukraine at this awful time.
