Winter assistance

Weekly News
Two new Red Cross projects are up and running in Poland, to provide continuing assistance to communities devastated by
floods earlier this year. With support from the Federation, and with Netherlands and Swiss Red Cross funding, the Polish Red Cross is implementing a winter assistance programme for children. In the south-west of the country, a school canteen project will provide hot meals to more than 1,000 children until next March. In addition 5,000 winter jackets and thousands of pairs of shoes will be distributed to children.
