With Advent approaching, thinking about others, those in need, and helping them is one of the noblest things to do – said Attila Beneda, Deputy State Secretary for Family Affairs at the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, at the Budapest event announcing the fundraiser on Thursday. at a press conference.

He reminded that the government is trying to help and support families as widely as possible. For example, it has introduced personal income tax exemption for mothers with three children, which will also apply to mothers with two children, and the fixed 3 percent Home Start Program has been launched, which helps young people create homes. In addition to government support, however, the civil and economic spheres also need to come together, he pointed out.

Gábor Herbert, president of the National Association of Large Families (NOE), said that the success of the campaign is indicated not only by the amount of donations collected, but also by the joy the gift evokes in children and parents, and the impact it has on the donor.
