Present Activity
Presently Polish Assistance is focused on the New York metropolitan area. Direct assistance to those in need is given on a monthly basis, usually to supplement low social security payments or to cover extraordinary medical bills. Primary institutional help goes to two nursing homes run by Polish nuns to whom individuals are referred to in need of their care.
Polish Assistance is housed in a limestone neo-Renaissance three-story mansion built in 1917. which is owned and occupied by the Kosciuszko Foundation.
