The traditional fundraising campaign of the Hungarian Food Bank Association begins this weekend, during which the organization’s volunteers collect donations in more than 150 towns and more than 350 stores in the country.

The organization asks the public to put any non-perishable food item in their basket for the needy during their purchases, which can be dropped off at the collection points next to the cash registers after payment, the association said in its statement on Tuesday.

The collection will take place between November 17 and 19, from Friday to Sunday, in the stores of four retail chains, Tesco, Aldi, Auchan and Metro, in more than 350 locations across the country. Donations can be dropped off at the Food Bank’s volunteers wearing green vests, at designated collection points near the cash registers from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening.

For the needy, canned food, rice, pasta and the corresponding sauces, flour, baby food, cooking oil, long-lasting milk and sweets are the greatest help, as well as any food that does not require refrigeration.
