The Polish Assistance

The Polish Assistance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive financial assistance to persons of Polish origin facing crisis situations in the New York, NY area and beyond. With over 65 years of service, the organization specializes in delivering targeted support to individuals and families experiencing poverty, mental illness, or physical health challenges. The Polish Assistance provides essential services including housing assistance, food support, and healthcare access to help stabilize lives during times of unforeseen hardship. The organization serves an aging population as well as recent immigrants, recognizing that many recipients will require long-term support to maintain dignity and basic living standards. Operating primarily throughout the New York metropolitan area with expanding outreach to out-of-state individuals, The Polish Assistance relies entirely on private donations to fund its mission, as it receives no federal, state, or local government assistance. The organization's work encompasses support for disabled individuals, assistance for the terminally ill, and comprehensive aid packages delivered to homebound recipients. By addressing the immediate needs of vulnerable community members, The Polish Assistance enables individuals and families to achieve stability while maintaining their independence and personal dignity during their most challenging moments.
