The Humanitarian Aid Point was operating from November 8th until January 31st. For 85 days of its activity, the Humanitarian Aid Point provided support to volunteers and activists working to help refugees stranded in the forests of the Polish-Belarussian border zone. Volunteers received material aid: medical supplies, clothes, camping equipment and medical supplies, later delivered to people struggling to survive.
Overall, in the three months of the activity at the Humanitarian Point, the activists received over 17 000 food supplies, over 40 000 medical items, over 2 500 items of clothing, including shoes, and over 1 500 camping items.
The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation has also donated 169 pieces of medical equipment to ambulance staff working on the border.
Moreover, our charity donated medical equipment to a hospital in Hajnówka, which received an influx of patients, who due to extended stay in the forest, dehydration, and fatigue, needed urgent medical help.
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!
As you already know, we play with everyone and for everyone. What is more, in Warsaw we play in a totally new location! For the first time ever the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be beating at the PGE Narodowy meadows.
The 1,685 Collection Centres in Poland and abroad are in the final lap of the preparations for the Grand Finale events. It's your last chance to participate in the initiative! See how your company can support the 32nd Grand Finale fundraiser!
