As many as 35 people brought bags full of items to Bow Gospel Hall on Monday, January 27.
Donations included clothes, shoes, bedding, blankets, toys, medication, non-perishable food and more.
The bags have since been loaded into a Ford Transit van, three estate cars and a small Daihatsu pickup truck and dispatched to Exmouth.
Charity Christian Response to Eastern Europe (CR2EE) will sort them in Exmouth before sending them on to the two countries.
Another collection is to be held in spring with the date yet to be confirmed.
The conflict in Ukraine is still ongoing. Moldova is the second poorest country in Europe.
