Collection Points for Hygiene Products for Ukrainians Are Open in VU Units

The Life Sciences Center of Vilnius University (VU LSC) and the Faculty of Chemistry and Geosciences (VU CHGF) join the Lithuanian Red Cross initiative and collect hygiene products for Ukrainians in Lithuania from Monday to Friday (March 25).

A hygiene collection point for Ukrainians in Lithuania is being opened at VU LSC premises (Saulėtekio St. 7, Vilnius). Items will be accepted from 3 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The VU CHGF Dean's Office (Naugarduko St. 24, Room 221 and M. K. Čiurlionio St. 21/27, Room 312) will also open a hygiene collection point for Ukrainians in Lithuania. Items will be accepted from March 21. 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. On March 25, items are accepted until 12:00 p.m.

During the war in Ukraine, some Ukrainians had to leave home. Most did not have the opportunity to take the necessary items with them. Therefore the Lithuanian Red Cross invites the public to join forces once again in gathering hygiene products for Ukrainians in Lithuania. It is emphasized that only specifically listed hygiene products are collected.

The public is invited to contribute by donating:

• Shampoo for adults and children;
• Shower gel for adults and children;
• Toothpaste for adults and children;
• Toothbrushes for adults and children;
• Toilet paper;
• Women's packages;
• Shaving blades;
• Diapers for children (best sizes 3 and 4).
