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.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or activity:
“The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look nor know each other’s face
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past and present all as one
Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We’re wed to one eternity”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
