We Stand With Ukraine

Gino’s East stands with Ukraine and will be donating 50% of our total sales Monday, March 7th through Wednesday, March 9th; guests of our Chicago locations can make a difference by simply dining with us (dine-in, carryout and delivery) during those dates.


We will be directing our efforts towards the following four organizations:

World Central Kitchen – an organization known for feeding people in need around the world, World Central Kitchen is already on the ground in Europe, providing thousands of meals in Poland, Romania and even inside Ukraine. Anyone who wishes to donate to the efforts directly can do so here.

Voices of Children – a charitable foundation based in Ukraine that serves the psychological needs of children affected by war. Much of the group is based in the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk, areas that have long been on the front lines of the current, wider conflict. Now, Voices of Children is assisting children and families all over Ukraine, including helping with evacuations. You can donate directly here.

The International Rescue Committee – this organization has a long history of providing resources to those fleeing their countries facing humanitarian crisis. You can donate directly via its website.

CARE – CARE is providing food, water, and more to those facing crisis. The group has partnered with People in Need and is aiming to build a fund that can reach 4 million people, particularly women, girls and the elderly. Direct donations to CARE can be made here.
