A Message of Hope

As we step into the New Year of 2025, may it bring a renewed sense of peace and good health to all. The world has faced its challenges, yet with every new year comes an opportunity for healing, growth and unity. May peace fill our hearts, our homes, and our communities, fostering understanding and compassion across borders. Let us embrace good health, not just in the absence of illness but in the vitality of body, mind and spirit. May we prioritize self-care, nurture our connections with others, and cherish the simple joys of life. With courage, determination, and an open heart, we can turn challenges into opportunities and create a future filled with hope and success. Here's to a year of wellness, harmony, and a brighter, healthier future for us all.

A YEAR IN REVIEW

In 2024, the PACCF Board of Directors allocated over $ 200,000 U.S. in aid to organizations in Poland serving the physically and mentally disabled, with an emphasis on those serving children and adolescents. In addition, in response to the severe flooding in Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries, that has ravaged many areas since mid-September, the Board of Directors held an emergency meeting in October and by unanimous consent, a special donation in the amount of $ 100,000 U.S. was made to Caritas Polska, with the stipulation that the funds must be used for flood relief efforts in Poland.

Over $ 300,000 U.S. in total funding was provided and, for this, we are very proud and grateful to our supporters within Polonia and beyond.
