Volunteering Services in Katowice

Xagaho organises and staffs local volunteering assignments across 8 districts of Katowice. Below is the full list of 7 services we run, with the order of work and the fixed price for each. Every request gets a reply within 2 hours during business hours.

Food Bank Sorting Shifts

Volunteers sort donated groceries at a partner distribution point in Katowice, check expiry dates, and pack boxes for pickup. Shifts run in groups of 4-6 people and are scheduled a week in advance so the point knows exactly how many hands will show up.

  • 3-hour shift, 4-6 volunteers
  • Booking confirmed within 2 hours
120 PLN

Senior Companionship Visits

A trained volunteer visits an elderly resident for conversation, light help around the home, and a walk if the weather allows. Visits are arranged on a recurring weekly slot after the first meeting, so the same volunteer returns to the same household.

  • 1-hour visit, weekly recurring option
  • First visit includes a short intake form
80 PLN

Park and Green Space Clean-Up

Small crews clear litter, clean benches, and rake fallen branches in one of the 8 districts we cover. Equipment, gloves, and bags are provided on-site. Groups of up to 8 people can be arranged for a single park in one morning slot.

  • Half-day session, up to 8 volunteers
  • Equipment supplied
100 PLN

Shelter Support Shifts

Volunteers help with feeding, cage cleaning, and walking dogs at a local animal shelter. New volunteers are paired with someone from our team of 11 for the first shift, then can take solo slots in the following weeks.

  • 2-hour shift, paired first session
  • Suitable for weekday afternoons
90 PLN

After-School Reading Support

Volunteers read with children in small groups at a community centre, helping with pronunciation and comprehension. Sessions are booked in blocks of four weeks, matching the same volunteer with the same group so progress is easy to track.

  • 45-minute session, 4-week block
  • Groups of 3-5 children
110 PLN

Furniture and Goods Relocation

A small crew moves donated furniture and household goods between a collection point and a family in need, using a rented van. This is the most physically demanding of our 7 services and is priced for a full crew of 3-4 volunteers plus transport.

  • Half-day job, 3-4 volunteers
  • Transport included in price
150 PLN

Event Stewarding Support

Volunteers help set up and staff small local events - registration desks, seating, and directing visitors. Bookings are confirmed at least 3 days ahead so we can assign volunteers familiar with the venue's district.

  • 3-hour shift, single event
  • Confirmed 3 days in advance
60 PLN
