For the first time this year, the Hungarian Red Cross, in cooperation with PENNY Market, organized a large-scale, long-lasting food and hygiene product collection weekend in the supermarket chain’s 125 supermarkets. As part of the two-day action, on December 11 and 12, more than 30,721 kilograms of donations were collected, which will benefit families in need, as well as clients of the humanitarian organization’s social welfare system and institutions.

During the third weekend of Advent, the staff of the Hungarian Red Cross waited for donations for two days in all counties of the country at the fundraising points located near the cash desks of the PENNY Market stores. Buyers were also helped by a list of the most useful products for donation.

On the website of the Hungarian Red Cross ( www.voroskereszt.hu ) and on the donation phone number 1359, the organisation’s Christmas promotions can still be supported throughout December. Each call means 250 HUF help for those in need.
