Thank You! We continue changing the world for good

By Anna Wozniak | Key Account Excecutive

Dear Donors, 

Meaningful support does not end with the December “Weekend of Miracles” – for many Families, it marks the beginning of genuine and lasting change. The Noble Gift program responds to specific needs, restoring safety, empowerment, and hope for a better future. “After the Noble Gift experience, I see the world differently,” says Ms. Urszula. Her story – like those of Mr. Tomasz, Mr. Edmund, and thousands of others – shows that well-targeted assistance offers a chance for a new life and, in some cases, can even save one.

Ms. Urszula, 53 years old, was referred to the Noble Gift program by a caregiver from a local social assistance institution. She survives on a modest benefit, much of which she spends on medications. Meeting Volunteers through the program marked the beginning of a relationship that offered her the possibility of real transformation. To see how Ms. Urszula’s life changed after the “Weekend of Miracles” (which we recently wrote about), watch our video: https://youtu.be/Ti51h9ah73M

It is worth noting that in 2025, the Noble Gift program supported nearly 20,000 Families across Poland. Among those most frequently in need were seniors. We were able to assist as many as 6,300 older individuals – and this support continues to grow. One of them was Mr. Edmund. During a meeting with Volunteers, he shared his dream of learning English. Thanks to the Volunteers he met, this dream sparked a wave of goodwill. Today, he attends language classes regularly within a group. This is especially important given that 4 out of 10 Polish seniors experience social isolation.

What else is happening within our program?
In recent months, we had the privilege of meeting Volunteers engaged in the Noble Gift program during 16 regional summary meetings, one in each province. Approximately 1,500 participants attended these events, where we collectively celebrated and acknowledged our efforts. The gatherings were filled with meaningful moments and emotions.

Additionally, we successfully completed a series of four in-depth workshops for the program’s management team together with interested Volunteers. Held in Kraków, Warsaw, Gdansk, and Wrocaw, these sessions provided valuable opportunities for substantive exchange, listening to our Volunteers, addressing their questions, and gaining a deeper understanding of their needs. Evaluating our activities remains a vital step in ensuring the quality and efficiency of our program.

In the coming months, we will launch recruitment efforts and extend invitations to encourage new Volunteers to join our mission.
Thank you for supporting this work – because of your commitment, we can reach more communities and Families in need.

Polish version:

Drodzy Przyjaciele, 

Madra pomoc nie konczy sie wraz z grudniowym Weekendem Cudów – dla wielu rodzin to dopiero poczatek realnej zmiany. Szlachetna Paczka odpowiada na konkretne potrzeby, przywracajac bezpieczenstwo, sprawczosc i nadzieje na realna zmiane. „Po Szlachetnej Paczce inaczej patrze na swiat” – mówi pani Urszula. Jej historia, podobnie jak historie pana Tomasza, Edmunda i tysiace innych, pokazuje, ze trafiona pomoc daje szanse na nowe zycie, a nawet moze je uratowac. 53-letnia pani Urszulazostaa zgoszona do Szlachetnej Paczki przez opiekunke z lokalnej instytucji pomocy spoecznej. Kobieta na co dzien utrzymuje sie z niewielkiego zasiku, który w duzej mierze przeznacza na leki. Spotkanie z Wolontariuszami w ramach Szlachetnej Paczki byo dla niej poczatkiem relacji, która daa szanse na zmiane zycia. Jak zmienio sie zycie pani Urszuli po Weekendzie Cudów (o którym pisalismy ostatnio) zobacz w naszym wideo: https://youtu.be/Ti51h9ah73M

Warto przypomniec, ze w 2025 roku Szlachetna Paczka pomoga blisko 20 tys. Rodzin w Polsce. Najliczniejsza grupa Potrzebujacych byli seniorzy. Pomoglismy az 6300 osobom starszym i ta pomoc ma swój ciag dalszy. Wsród osób, do których dotarlismy, by panEdmund.Podczas spotkania z Wolontariuszami podzieli sie swoim marzeniem, jakim bya nauka jezyka angielskiego. Dzieki temu, ze spotka Wolontariuszy, uruchomiona zostaa lawina dobra. Dzis mezczyzna regularnie uczeszcza na zajecia jezykowe w grupie. To szczególnie istotne wobec faktu, ze az 4 na 10 polskich seniorów doswiadcza izolacji spoecznej.

Co poza tym u Nas?

W ostatnich miesiacach mielismy okazje, aby spotkac sie z wolontariuszami zaangazowanymi w Szlachetna Paczke. Odbyo sie 16 (po jednej w kazdym województwie) spotkan podsumowujacych. Wzieo w nich udzia okoo1500 osób. Wspólnie swietowalismy i docenilismy nasza prace. Wydarzeniom towarzyszyy wiele emocji i wzruszen.

Za nam tez cykl czterech spotkan warstwowych zespou zarzadzajacego programem z chetnymi wolontariuszami. Spotkania warsztatowo-ewaluacyjne odbyy sie w: Krakowie, Warszawie, Gdansku oraz Wrocawiu. Byy okazja do merytorycznej wymiany doswiadczen, wysuchania wolontariuszy, odpowiedzi na ich pytania oraz lepszego zrozumienia ich potrzeb. Ewaluacja naszych dziaan jest dla nas waznym etapem realizacji programu.

W kolejnych miesiacach rozpoczniemy rekrutacje i zapraszanie chetnych wolontariuszy do zaangazowania w nasz program.

Dziekujemy, ze go wspieracie, bo dzieki Wam mozemy docierac do pomoca do nowych miejsc i Rodzin w potrzebie.
