World Bread Day celebrated with a national charity event

The donations are delivered by the Hungarian Red Cross to children’s institutions, family support centers and social institutions. As part of the collaboration, donations were received in Budapest and several rural cities – including Győr, Kaposvár, Kecskemét, Eger and Szeged.

“Sharing bread is a symbolic act: it sends the message that we take care of each other as a community”

– said József Septe, president of the Hungarian Bakers’ Association, adding that the social responsibility of the baking profession is also evident in everyday life.

The Association’s goal is for the initiative to become a tradition and for even more bakeries to participate in the national campaign in the future.
