The firm has also donated to World Central Kitchen, a not-for-profit organisation that serves thousands of fresh meals to families in and around Ukraine.
In order to tie in its print and promotional products, VistaPrint also created over 80,000 #StandWithUkraine posters and stickers which were given away for free and continue to be included in outgoing VistaPrint orders.
In a statement of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, chief executive offer and founder of Vista and Cimpress, Robert Keane says: “I’ve met and gotten to know many of our new colleagues, both virtually and several times in person in Kyiv.
“As I watch this invasion unfold in real time, I’m both horrified and heartbroken, and have heard directly from our team members in Kyiv how this is impacting them, their families, and their country. Russia’s unprovoked atrocities against Ukraine and its democracy have no place in our world.”
