Customers donated 95,075 kilos during the national non-perishable food collection campaign of the Magyar Élélmiszerbank Egyesület over the weekend. In each minute of the two-day campaign, which took place in a total of 200 stores of Tesco and Aldi, donations for 18 food packages were collected. The Food Bank will be able to support 19,000 people with a difficult fate in the coming weeks from these products.

The rain in May was worth gold, more precisely 95,000 kilos of food donations to people and families in need. The Magyar Élélmiszerbank Egyesület collected donations in 115 settlements of the country, in a total of 200 Tesco and ALDI stores, on Friday and Saturday. Nearly 3,000 volunteers took part in the collaboration, who asked customers to buy one canned food, pasta or other food that does not require refrigeration, so that they could distribute it to needy people living in the vicinity of the stores in the coming weeks. The action ended with a heart-warming result: more than HUF 108 million worth of food was collected, from which the Food Bank can put together packages for 19,000 people with a difficult fate.
