Each year before Christmas the team of Wrocław Gazeta Wyborcza, Agora Foundation and Nowe Horyzonty Cinema collect funds from sponsors to make presents for a thousand poorest children in Wrocław and Wrocław region and to help Wrocław institutions and non-profits.
The main goal of the 14th Santa Claus Factory was to collect funds to purchase equipment for the care centre for adult patients with intellectual disabilities, managed by Bonitum Association. Nearly 200 thousand zł was collected and financed the purchase of gifts for a thousand children in Wrocław primary schools and donated to the patients in the care of Bonitum Association that opened a Community Support Centre in January 2018.
Nearly two million zł has been collected over 14 years of Santa Factory, thanks to the commitment of employees, sponsors and readers of Gazeta Wyborcza Wrocław. The money was used to buy 14 thousand gifts for the youngest children, pupils of Wrocław schools, patients of hospitals, recipients of aid from local foundations and associations.
