Collaboration for the benefit of local communities

The neighborhood matters

At the CANPACK Foundation, we are proud of our collaboration for the benefit of local communities. If you want to make a real difference in the world, you have to start by taking care of your neighborhood. So we are committed to building stronger, healthier, and more integrated local communities. To achieve this goal, we partner with organizations that share our passion for helping other people. We work hand in hand with associations, institutions, and individuals who, on a daily basis, share their kindness, care and skills with the beneficiaries of various charitable actions and initiatives to help them overcome their challenges.

Inicjatywy

Poranki muzyczne dla dzieci i młodzieży — Eko Planeta

With our support, the Polish Art Philharmonic carried out the project Poranki muzyczne dla dzieci i młodzieży — Eko Planeta (Musical mornings for children and young adults - Eco Planet). As a part of the project, several events took place—a meeting with Łukasz Tochem, photographer and traveller; an art and staging workshops involving the use of aluminium cans; and a concert—Camille Saint-Saëns The Carnival of the Animals performed by the Polish Art Philharmonic. A total of 368 children took part in the project.

Hoover Table

The Hoover Table project, which commemorates US President Herbert Hoover and his humanitarian aid to Polish children, perfectly demonstrates the approach aimed at bringing together local government, diplomacy, business and NGOs to raise funds for a worthy cause. During the 5th edition of the project, six teams made up of teenagers—charges of the Zespół Placówek Resocjalizacyjno-Socjoterapeutycznych (ul. Górka Narodowa, Cracow)—prepared three contest meals made from products with which President Hoover hosted philanthropists at the 1921 Invisible Guest dinner, i.e. cocoa, potatoes and rice. The boys were prepared for the contest by culinary mentors from Krakow restaurants.

Therapy pool activities

We are glad that, with our support, 8 children from the Zespół Szkół Specjalnych nr 11 in Cracow can take part in therapy swimming pool activities. The activities, carried out using the Halliwick method, are a form of multifaceted hydrotherapy, supporting the development of children with complex disabilities, whilst giving them the joy of water play.

Nature walks for children with special needs

More than 50 children from three Cracow centers for children with special needs took part in nature walks (microwalks) lead by Anna of the Children in Nature organization. The children explored the secrets of urban nature in Park Dębnicki, Park Lotników Polskich and the Kamieniołom Libana. The contact with trees, other plants, birdsong and the scents of nature affect children in a very positive, therapeutic way.

A lesson in patriotism with rotmistrz (captain) Witold Pilecki

We have supported this patriotic project, hosted by the Stowarzyszenie Moc Radości in Jodłówka, for several years. The project includes a history contest for students of grades IV-VIII entitled Rotmistrz Witold Pilecki—a hero who knew no limits to courage and sacrifice and the Pilecki family run. 62 schools from the Bochnia poviat took part in the contest, and more than 150 people took part in the run (covering three different distances).
