Homelessness remains a major social issue in Poland. Tens of thousands of people living on the streets experience social exclusion. At Good Factory, we believe that every person, regardless of their past, has the inalienable right to dignity and respect.

Overview:

most of them live in the Mazowieckie, Śląskie and Pomorskie voivodeships
every year, more than 100 people in Poland die due to cold-related causes
the most common reasons for homelessness are: familial conflict, addiction issues, and eviction

For the poor and those in the homelessness crisis, Christmas is not a reason for joy. It presents a very real challenge associated with the cold. We’ve already weathered the first wave of freezing temperatures, and more are on the way. For us, the cold means increased heating expenses; for them, it often means a struggle for survival.

Warm Packages need to reach makeshift shelters and vacant spaces where more individuals in need are shivering. They need warm jackets, boots, blankets, gas cylinders, and thermoses.

Every year in Poland, around 100 people in homelessness crisis die due to the cold. In the capital alone, nearly 3000 people are living in these conditions.

Help us generate some WARMTH for the homeless in Warsaw, who are facing winter and life-threatening frost!

We need 20,255 PLN (4,501 EUR) to, as every year, prepare WARM PACKAGES with winter jackets, sleeping bags, shoes, and backpacks.

The Sant’Egidio Community is doing excellent work in assisting Warsaw’s homeless. Their philosophy of helping closely aligns with ours, assisting people in various parts of the world. Therefore, together with Sant’Egidio, we want to reach those who need support the most. We won’t solve all the problems, but we can, at the very least, buy time that could be crucial for someone to resolve these issues.

No donation is too small. Whether you can fund an entire package for 175 PLN (40,44 EUR) or even contribute just one shoelace for 5 PLN (0,23 EUR) – you are saving a person’s life. In this way, you’ll bring a bit of goodness to the world before the holidays!

Our GOOD FACTORY madness needs you now more than ever! Without you, we can do NOTHING. With you – EVERYTHING, anything possible!”
