Polish Assistance, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to provide assistance to persons of Polish origin in times of unforeseen hardship.
65 years ago, a successful and philanthropic group of Americans of Polish heritage formed an organization to support World War II heroes who immigrated to America from Poland to escape communism. Today, a new generation of philanthropic Polish Americans is upholding the tradition of providing assistance to individuals who are at risk or in crisis due to poverty, mental or physical illness. The passage of time has caused the majority of the current aid recipients to be immigrants more recent than the post-WW II political refugees. Your support enables our organization to bring stability to these individuals by providing basic needs for housing, food and healthcare and allows our elderly to live out their years with dignity. Our activities focus mostly on the New York metropolitan area, with an increasing portion of the assistance given to out-of-state individuals.
The Polish Assistance's mission is to provide assistance, primarily financial, to persons of Polish origin who are at risk or in crises due to poverty, mental or physical illness.
People have a right to basic necessities. Our vision is to make a positive impact on the community we serve by consistently expanding our assistance to those in need in the Polish American community until we live in a world where every person has an acceptable standard of living.
