The volunteers of the Food Bank Association collected 226 tonnes of durable food products

The Christmas fundraising campaign of the Hungarian Food Bank Association – that took place during the weekend – was successfully completed. The fundraising campaign took place in nearly 120 settlements across the country at 200 locations. During the weekend action, a total of about 226 tonnes of durable food products were collected by 5,000 volunteers.

The importance of the action was also recognized by domestic celebrities. Several artists of the Centrál Theatre have contributed to the success of the initiative, supported by the main sponsor, the CIB Bank. The Food Bank Association compiles around 35 000 packages from the donations that will be transported to the needy families with the assistance of charitable organizations before Christmas.
