Kompania Piwowarska supports those in need as part of the 21st edition of the Noble Gift

Participation in the Noble Gift is the biggest corporate volunteering project at Kompania Piwowarska. This year’s edition saw nearly 1,700 employees helping those in need, coordinated by 57 leaders. Over the Weekend of Miracles, 57 disadvantaged families received Christmas gifts from Kompania Piwowarska. 

Kompania Piwowarska first joined the Noble Gift in 2016. Since then, the company volunteers have prepared almost six thousand packages for poor families and people struggling with the difficulties of life. This year, they donated food, cleaning supplies, cosmetics, clothing, toys and equipment for school children, including computers and desk, with the total value of 239 thousand zloty. Additionally, Kompania Piwowarska financed packages worth 167 thousand zloty and donated 70 thousand zloty to the WIOSNA Association to help those in need. 

– Every year, the Noble Gift is a special event at our company. Despite the difficulties resulting from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, our employees once again put their hearts into the project, achieving even better results than in the previous editions. This year, the leaders and their teams devoted 2,114 hours to purchase, pack and deliver 876 packages for those in need – says Małgorzata Walędzińska-Półtorak, Sustainable Development Program Manager at Kompania Piwowarska. 

Kompania Piwowarska has been executing its corporate volunteering program – Kompania of Volunteers – for years. The volunteering community constitutes 64 percent of the company staff, who continue to financially and physically support local communities and non-governmental organizations throughout the year. Besides the Noble Gift, the company encourages its employees to stay active within the Bet on Move program, where the kilometres covered by the participating volunteers during various physical activities are exchanged into financial support for people suffering from mobility impairments. Furthermore, the leader of the beer industry in Poland supports other initiatives and organizations the aim of which is to help people and our planet, such as the Centre for Women’s Rights Foundation in Gdańsk, My dla Innych Association, Nasza Ziemia Foundation, or Dom w Łodzi Foundation.

The Noble Gift is the most recognizable Polish nation-wide social project organized by the WIOSNA Association since 2001. Its main goal is to provide material and mental help for people affected by difficult life circumstances. The initiative is based on pro bono cooperation with donors and volunteers.
