About the Project
Each transaction is assigned one Nocleženka. We hand the Nocleženkas over to social workers, who then pass them on to people in need.
After purchasing a Nocleženka, we will send you a confirmation email within a few days with our thanks and information about how the project works.
Each purchased Nocleženka has its own number. When “your” Nocleženka is used, we will send you an email. Please be patient; Nocleženkas are usually purchased in waves, so sometimes it may take several weeks after purchase for it to be redeemed. Don’t worry—every Nocleženka finds a person it will help.
If you would like to receive a physical Nocleženka and give it personally to someone experiencing homelessness, you can purchase one by prior arrangement at the Salvation Army headquarters or at individual centers.
Price of a Nocleženka
The base amount for a Nocleženka is 100 CZK, but if you decide to contribute a higher amount, we will be very grateful. All of the money will be used for direct care for people experiencing homelessness, and we guarantee that 100% of your donation goes toward this help. We try to communicate personally with every donor who chooses to support the project with more than 5,000 CZK. If you would like your contribution to be divided directly into individual Nocleženkas, please let us know.
Donation Receipt
Please expect the donation receipt from us automatically in January or February following the year in which you supported the Nocleženka.
Payment via Bank Transfer
If it is more convenient for you to buy a Nocleženka via bank transfer, please send the amount to account number 475335613/0300, variable symbol 20170112, and include the keyword Noclezenka in the note.
Please also don’t forget to provide your email address—either in the note or by email—so we can inform you when your purchased Nocleženka is redeemed. Thank you.
Unredeemed Nocleženky
Sometimes a person experiencing homelessness is unable to redeem a Nocleženka due to it being damaged or lost. Some Nocleženky cannot be redeemed because of full capacity. But your donations will definitely not go to waste. The goal of the project is and will remain providing people without homes with a night in a dry, warm, and safe place. All unredeemed Nocleženky will be used to help specific people (e.g., obtaining an ID document, addressing health issues, covering fees related to moving into social or private housing) or to support services for people experiencing homelessness.
Project Duration
The project usually operates from November to April—during the cold season. However, you can purchase a Nocleženka at any time. Those bought during the summer and autumn months are prepared for immediate distribution as soon as the first freezing nights arrive.
Communication Issues
If you do not receive any email from us—neither a thank-you message nor information about redemption—please contact us. There was likely an issue with the email or another technical error.
