Volunteering
Hauptbahnhof (Berlin railway station) and ZOB (central bus station) are the most important volunteer centers right now. There you can meet the refugees, help them with interpreting and finding accommodation. Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking volunteers are in great demand there.
Humanitarian aid is also collected at these locations. There is always a need for medicines, soap/shampoo/shower gel, food, face masks, baby food, and diapers.
