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:
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.”
—Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)
