About the foundation

In addition to organizing camps, with the help of our supporters and partner organizations, we regularly organize fundraisers to brighten the everyday lives of disadvantaged children and families.

Featured campaign

Christmas for a Thousand Children

Every year, more than 1,000 children receive Christmas gifts through our foundation. During the shoebox campaign, donors prepare personal gift packages for disadvantaged children.

Winter tour

Our volunteers personally deliver the gifts to the most disadvantaged communities. During the tour, we bring not only gifts, but also attention and care to the families.

Food program

Winter tour+

We collect and purchase non-perishable food, which we deliver to families in need at the end of January. This program forms the basis of the CRISIS FOOD program.

Through the program, 200-400 families receive non-perishable food packages. If our resources allow, we also provide baby care and hygiene products.

Autumn campaign

School supplies tour

In autumn, we organize a school supplies tour, during which we provide 200-400 children with the tools they need for learning: notebooks, pens, bags, and other school supplies.

The start of school represents a significant financial burden for many. With our program, we help ensure that every child can start the new school year prepared and with equal opportunities.

Community program

Community Cauldron

Together with partner organizations and companies, we organize community cooking events, during which we distribute 600-1,000 portions of hot food to people in need.

During the winter months, it is especially important that families and individuals in difficult situations have access to hot meals. Through community cooking events, we provide not only food, but also a sense of community.

600-1000 portions of hot food per event

Emergency relief

We are ready to act in unexpected events — floods, snowstorms, refugee crises. We quickly mobilize our resources and volunteers to help where the need is greatest.

Since February 2022

International involvement

Since February 2022, we have been actively participating in humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine. Together with our partners, we provide support to schools, hospitals, and refugee organizations.
