The Polish Assistance's mission is to provide assistance to persons of Polish origin who are at risk or in crisis due to poverty, mental or physical illness.
Your support enables us to bring stability to these individuals by providing basic needs for housing, food and healthcare
We serve an aging population that unfortunately will not be able to achieve long-term financial stability and most will be life long recipients of our aid.
