The Noble Gift support Families in need in Poland

Noble Gift works all year round to reach those who are often not helped by anyone else 

Thanks to your financial engage and big heart we can act and help people in need. We have a lotof gratitude for your support! 

The Noble Giftprovide not only material support to those most in need, but also the presence and attention of another person and an impulse to deal with adversities on their own – which is often more valuable for families than many packages of groceries or warm clothes for winter. Thanks to meetings with Volunteers, those in need regain their dignity. They know they deserve the attention and respect of other human beings.

However, oursocialactivitiesdon’tfinishatthis moment – we workallyearround. Volunteers with our support endeavor to stay in contact with beneficiaries to help them deal with adversities on their own. We develop such projects as Physicians’ Gift or Lawyers’ Gift. 

How we celebrate and appreciate the commitment of Volunteers? 

To celebrate and appreciate the Volunteers who get involved, we organize a special event that takes place at the beginning of spring. Volunteers from all over Poland come, get to know each other, share their stories and feel the power of Volunteering energy. The last meeting of volunteers took place on April 22-23, 2023 in Krakow. Over 300 people took part in it.  Such meetings firm the strength of our communities and are very important in the calendar of the Noble Gift.

Summary and evaluation of the Noble Gift 

After every edition, between first months of the year, the program is evaluated: 

• We summarize and evaluate the project providing a summary and description of the effects to the Volunteers and Partners involved. 
• We analyze the effectiveness of marketing and promotional activities 
• We verify feedback from all interested parties and identify strengths and weaknesses of our operating strategies 

Summary and evaluation are extremely important to the development of our program so that December in 2023 we can reach those who do not ask for help. 

Development of the objectives for the next edition of the Noble Gift 

We would like to develop our social program to reach new places where many people in need are waiting for help. We spend many weeks at the beginning of the yearforevaluatingprogram, summarizing, setting new project and budget goals to implement the nearest edition and its final in December 2023. We invest our resources in activities such as: 

• Recruitment and training of Volunteers 
• Planning the program's marketing campaign activities 
• Acquisition funds from grants and individual donorsas well as establishing and maintaining new relationships with business partners 
• IT system upgrade and the logistics of the project is enhanced

Thank you again for your kindness and support for our program!

XXII edition of the Noble Parcel in numbers

On the Weekend of Miracles on December 10 and 11, aid was provided to 15 500 people: families who felt noticed and important.

The help connected over 597 000 people and the total value of support under the Noble Box amounted to almost PLN 60 million this year.

Despite many adversities, 473 000 donors and 12 000 volunteers showed how much good comes from sharing with others.

Donors were generous this year: the average value of a parcel remained at a similar level as last year and amounted to almost PLN 3,900. In this edition, over 46% of aid was prepared by companies, institutions, or educational institutions, which is 4 percentage points more than a year ago. Packages were mostly created in groups - an average of 31 people participated in creating one package. The result of this work is aid worth almost PLN 60 million.

Stories of the Weekend of Miracles

Behind each presented number there are personal stories of the families in need, as well as volunteers and donors. 

Together, we have introduced goodness into many homes, which does not end with the closing of the door. The shoes that Jas received will give him not only warmth but also a sense of dignity; the tools that received Mr. Jan will help him bring his apartment to a state of which he can be proud; and Mrs. Anna will gain strength and peaceful nights knowing that hunger will not keep her awake at night. After the Weekend of Miracles, a lonely senior after a leg amputation will become more independent. The woman was given a special bed, upon seeing which she said: "With this help, I will be able to get up to eat on my own. This is the happiest day of my life."

On this special weekend, the single mother of three said: “The kids got gifts for the first time, but they were real: brand new toys, original sweets. I don't know how to thank you for their smiles."

"I thought it was going to be one package, but it's twenty?" – said the elderly beneficiary of the Noble Parcel, not hiding her emotion. She looked at everything with great gratitude. To say goodbye, she reached into the bookcase, from which she pulled out bundles with hand-prepared homemade pasta. Each volunteer got one. In this way, she taught everyone an important lesson that even when you have little, you have enough to share at least a little.

Who got help this year?

The Noble Gift operated in 636 locations in this year. Among the families that received support:

• 60% experience difficulties due to illness and/or disability;

• 20% experience problems due to illness and/or disability of children;

• almost 30% struggle with the problems of old age and loneliness;

• almost 20% found themselves in a difficult situation due to misfortune, accident or fortuitous event.

This year, the Noble Box helped about 5 000 elderly people, almost 17 000  children and 5 000 independent parents.

We all sharing goodness. Thank you again for your support.
