The organisation's priority this winter is to help residents of Kharkiv and Kharkiv region, with the possibility of extending its activities to Kherson region.
Particular support will go to the most vulnerable people, PCPM head Wojtek Wilk said.
PCPM plans to distribute winter assistance packages tailored to residents' needs. These will include insulation packages, packages for use during power outages, food preparation packages, and packages for firefighters and rescue workers.
One resident interviewed by PCPM staff in Ukraine said people were already preparing for winter by cutting and chopping wood. The resident said they would need around three truckloads of wood for the whole winter and wanted to be prepared for any situation, including power cuts. The priority was keeping their home warm.
Kharkiv region remains one of the most threatened areas because of its proximity to the front line. Mykolaiv and Odesa, and their surrounding areas, serve as important destinations for internally displaced people fleeing intense shelling in southern Ukraine, around Kherson.
PCPM says the socio-economic situation in these areas is deteriorating, with high unemployment, limited access to services and a growing number of people needing support.
The foundation is appealing for donations to help people who may lose access to heating, water and electricity in the coming months. It also encourages media outlets, journalists and content creators to publicise the appeal.
Donations can be made through the PCPM website.
