This is the ninth time that the presidential couple has joined the initiative. This time, donations will be given to a family where a single, sick mother is raising a son with intellectual disabilities. The daughter, who has had to reduce her paid work to look after her family, is being helped with the very expensive rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Launched in 2000 by Krak\u00f3w’s Spring Association, the “Noble Parcel” project is one of the largest social programmes in Poland. Volunteers reach thousands of families across Poland.<\/p>\n
“Together with a supply of food and detergents, warm clothes, a gas cooker that has been missing for a long time or pots and pans, families receive much more: emotional support and a feeling that they are not alone with their problems. This nationwide project to help families in difficult material situations, implemented by the Spring Association, pursues a mission to encourage people to donate to others, to become better, to feel needed. It inspires cooperation between volunteers, donors, and families, creating a community”, reads the president.pl website.<\/p>\n
At the Presidential Palace, the ‘Noble Parcel’ was initiated by the late Maria Kaczy\u0144ska, who prepared help for a large family from the Warmi\u0144sko-Mazurskie Voivodeship.<\/p>\n
This year, during the so-called weekend of miracles (Saturday and Sunday 16 and 17 December) parcels were delivered to 17012 families. Last year, nearly 15,500 families received a ‘Noble Parcel’. The total value of the aid given in parcels amounted to almost PLN 59 million. The average value of a parcel for one family was PLN 3.9 thousand.<\/p>\n
