Poland
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.

Dear friends, thanks to your generosity, our warehouse is overflowing!
The residents of Bodzanów, Rudawa, and surrounding villages are well-stocked with food, bottled water, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies for months to come. Our priority now is to make space for other essential aid, such as power generators, dehumidifiers, stoves, and building materials needed to rebuild homes. We’ve saved lives and health; now, we’re focusing on rebuilding.
We encourage representatives from all towns in the Nysa county which are still in need of food, water, hygiene products, or cleaning supplies to get in touch with us!
