We are a Catholic charitable institution whose mission is to help the sick, the elderly and the disabled, the homeless and the unemployed. We assist families and people living in extreme poverty, children and young people from marginalised environments, as well as victims of violence, natural disasters and armed conflicts.
Caritas runs various specialised facilities to respond reasonably to those in crisis or who suffer hardship. We run campaigns and projects aimed at helping those in need and raising funds for these activities. We also promote volunteering among children, young people, and adults.
Following the statutory obligation of PBO, we regularly publish our performance reports and financial statements on public benefit activities. We are one of 44 fully autonomous diocesan organisations using the same logo. In addition to these local units, Caritas Polska has been established by the Polish Episcopal Conference to coordinate nationwide and foreign campaigns.
