Food company Oakland International sending 50 trucks of aid to families in Ukraine

A Midlands food company has launched a humanitarian effort to collect and ship out 50 trucks of food to families in Ukraine.

Oakland International hopes to start sending donations from UK suppliers to the Poland/Ukraine border – and maybe even across the border if it is safe enough – as early as tomorrow (Wednesday March 2).

Management has been in touch with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, the British Red Cross and various EU embassies to find out the best way of getting fresh, frozen, tinned and packet food across Europe.
