Since the beginning of 2014, the “All Parcels are Noble” program has been underway, under which Siódemka donates one grosz from every delivered parcel to the “Noble Parcel” (Szlachetna Paczka) campaign. A counter on the www.siodemka.com website shows the current number of delivered parcels. At the end of March, it reached 7,000,000.
– I hope that the “All Parcels are Noble” program implemented by Siódemka will be a model and inspiration for other companies – says Fr. Jacek Stryczek, founder of the WIOSNA Association, responsible for the “NOBLE PARCEL” social project, about the campaign. – This is a perfect example that entrepreneurship and a good heart do not have to be mutually exclusive, but on the contrary – they can go hand in hand.
The “All Parcels are Noble” project was born after the finale of the NOBLE PARCEL in 2013, during which over half a thousand Siódemka couriers delivered parcels to families in need as volunteers.
– The project will last until the end of the year, and we already know that we will donate an amount to the Noble Parcel, thanks to which, among other things, the next finale of the campaign will be able to take place on as large a scale as the last one – says Marcin Kruszyński, PR Manager at Siódemka. – We can already announce that during the finale in December 2014, Noble Parcels will reach families in need also thanks to our couriers. And until then, we will surely hear more about further joint initiatives between Siódemka and the Noble Parcel.
NOBLE PARCEL is a project initiated 13 years ago by Fr. Jacek Stryczek. The campaign aims to provide material aid to the most needy individuals and families. Volunteers look for families in need, then meet with them, diagnose their situation, identify specific needs, and make a decision about including them in the project. Donors prepare aid dedicated to a specific family. In addition to immediate help, people in need receive hope for a better tomorrow and an impulse for change. Today, the NOBLE PARCEL project is nationwide and, like no other charity campaign in Poland, connects the actions of hundreds of thousands of people. In 2013, the Parcel was organized in 508 locations across Poland.
Siódemka supports many social and charitable initiatives. The most well-known “Siódemka” activity of this type is the annual participation in the auction of Golden Hearts during the Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. The company also provides logistics support for the Letter Writing Marathon organized by Amnesty International. As part of its corporate social responsibility strategy, Siódemka is actively involved in ongoing support for smaller or lesser-known public benefit organizations, such as the Little Prince Children’s Hospice in Lublin, the Children’s Fantasy Foundation, or the Janusz Korczak Children’s Home in Krasne.
