Homelessness remains a major social issue in Poland. Tens of thousands of people living on the streets experience social exclusion. At Good Factory, we believe that every person, regardless of their past, has the inalienable right to dignity and respect.

It’s easy to think that people experiencing homelessness are no longer children. They should take responsibility for their lives. Grow up. But how can someone who never truly had a childhood become fully an adult? “How many of them have ever experienced real Christmas?” we wonder as they share stories of their past.
In the photos, you can see 200 carefully packed gift bags, lovingly prepared by Kasia and Jarek. These gifts will be handed to people in a homelessness crisis during the Christmas Eve dinner we co-organize at Kamienica Theater. Each bag contains warm clothing to help them survive the harshest winter cold. We’ve also added sweets—simple gifts, yet so meaningful for someone who isn’t remembered on birthdays, doesn’t celebrate wedding anniversaries, or has no one to exchange wishes with on Christmas Eve.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to organizing this event—Warsaw’s City Guard, representatives and volunteers from Teatr Kamienica, and Netto employees who filled our packages with sweets. And thank you, dear Good Factory supporters, for every złoty donated to fill the Warm Packs. You are restoring the magic of Christmas for those who desperately need a little joy in their lives.

“May she live 200 years!” sang the entire Good Factory team, accompanied by an accordion, at Mrs. Kasia’s 99th birthday celebration. In this challenging time for her, after the many hardships caused by the flood, seeing her smile was the most beautiful gift we could have wished for. We were able to support Mrs. Kasia […]
