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:
“It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest. Omitting then for the present all notice of the stationary class, we shall find that the movement party divides itself into two classes, the actors, and the students.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
