Szlachetna Paczka is a social program that enables direct assistance to those most in need. According to the rules of Szlachetna Paczka, a Family cannot nominate itself for the program. People in difficult life circumstances are nominated for the Paczka by institutions such as MOPS, GOPS, a care home, school or parish. Any third party who is not a member of the given Family can submit a nomination, including a neighbor, friend, school counselor from the children’s school, social worker or parish representative. A single Family can be nominated for the Paczka more than once.

Who receives packages?

Szlachetna Paczka approaches each Family’s story individually. During meetings with the Family, volunteers learn about its circumstances and, guided by the principles of wise assistance, decide what kind of support should be provided.

The challenges faced by Families supported by the Paczka can be assigned to the following categories:

  • illness/disability,
  • child with an illness/disability,
  • large family,
  • single parent/caregiver,
  • transition to independence,
  • old age,
  • loneliness,
  • fortuitous event,
  • affected by the consequences of war,
  • affected by the consequences of flooding,
  • other.
