As devastating floods continue to sweep across Central Europe, Goods For Good has mobilised our resources to provide immediate relief to those affected. Following record heavy rainfall brought on by Storm Boris, the floods have claimed at least 21 lives and displaced countless individuals and families across Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, Hungary, and Italy. The situation is especially critical as rivers like the Danube, which is expected to peak around or slightly above 8.5 metres on Friday, continue to threaten more lives.
Rapid response is at the heart of what we do at Goods For Good. As soon as the crisis emerged, our team immediately mobilised to ensure vital supplies were on their way to those in need. On Monday, thanks. To the support of our charity partner HRIF, we loaded over 1,000 hygiene buckets at our warehouse in Amsterdam. Each bucket, carefully packed with essential items including towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, and water bottles, was destined for Glocholazy in Poland — a region already grappling with the impact of the floods. In under 24 hours, the aid arrived at its destination, bringing immediate relief to families in need. The speed of our response highlights how crucial the support from our donors is - and that it's this support that makes it possible to provide immediate aid when it’s needed most.
As the flooding continues to spread, we remain committed to providing ongoing support across the affected regions. Every hygiene bucket costs just €10, covering the cost of both transportation and distribution. However, to sustain these life-saving efforts, we urgently need your help.
With the floods intensifying and the number of affected communities growing, this is truly a life-or-death situation. Every donation will directly help those in desperate need, ensuring they have access to clean water, basic hygiene items, and hope in the face of this unprecedented disaster.
Now, more than ever, your support can make a difference. Please donate today to help us continue our rapid flood response and provide relief to the individuals and families impacted by this devastating flood.
