category
Giving Tuesdayis a unique day in the calendar, celebrated worldwide on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It is a global movement that inspires people to do good and engage in actions for others. It was established in 2012 in the United States as a counterbalance to commercial shopping holidays like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Today, it has become an international symbol of solidarity, altruism, and empathy.
Why is Giving Tuesday so important?
In times when consumption plays an increasing role in our lives, Giving Tuesday reminds us of what really matters: helping others, building relationships, and supporting those in need. It is not just a day for financial donations, but also a moment when each of us can offer something priceless – our time, attention, and care.
Giving Tuesday in Poland:
In Poland, Giving Tuesday is gaining increasing popularity as a day when organizations, companies, and individuals join forces to do something good.
This is the perfect opportunity to:
Support the activities of charitable organizations such as the Polish Red Cross,
Engage in local social initiatives,
Inspire others to help through your own example.
Why is it worth getting involved today?
Every act of kindness on Giving Tuesday is part of a larger movement that unites people around the world. For the Polish Red Cross, this is a key moment to draw attention to the needs of seniors as part of the 'I Am Still Here' campaign. With the support of donors, we can combat loneliness among older adults and create places that become a second home for them.
How can you get involved in Giving Tuesday?
Online donation: Support our campaign at jeszczetujestem.pl. Every donation is real help for seniors.
Engagement as a company: Show your social responsibility by contacting us at partnerzy@pck.pl.
Local action: Get involved in initiatives in your surroundings – visit a lonely senior, make a material donation, or share your time.
Together we can do more!
Giving Tuesday is not just a day, but also a reminder that each of us has the power to change the world for the better. A small gesture, a donation, a smile, or a few minutes of conversation – every form of help is valuable and can bring immense joy to another person.
Join us and show that kindness has immense power! ❤️

“I am still here” – A campaign that changes the lives of seniors.
In Poland, as many as 1 in 3 seniors live alone, often struggling with isolation and a sense of exclusion. The Polish Red Cross's "I'm Still Here" campaign was created to change this reality. Thanks to the support of donors, we create Senior Clubs, places that give older people a chance for new relationships, the development of passions and the joy of life.
