Благодійні гастровечері Gastro United зібрали понад $4 мільйони на підтримку України

This was told in an interview with Ukrinform by the President of the Association of Culinary Specialists of Ukraine, the founder of Gastro United, restaurateur and chef Andriy Magaletskyi.

"We have 34 dinners... These are 23 cities, eight countries, more than 120 chefs. In general, we accumulated more than $4 million at these dinners... Our mission abroad is humanitarian. In Ukraine, this is assistance to the Defense and Security Forces.

According to him, recently the amount of funds that can be raised during such events has increased significantly. In particular, at the last eight gastronomic dinners, the team collected at least 5 million hryvnias per evening, and the record result was almost 50 million hryvnias.

"There is no insignificant help, every hryvnia can change something... If everything we do will help save at least one human life, then we are doing it for a reason," the chef stressed.
