The Hungarian Food Bank Association is organizing a record-sized food collection on Friday and Saturday
At the Friday and Saturday fundraiser organized by the Hungarian Food Bank Association, customers can make donations for people and families living in need in more places than in previous campaigns of the association, in more than 200 settlements across the country.
The donations will be received and delivered to those in need in the vicinity of the stores by volunteers of the Hungarian Food Bank Association in the coming weeks. The aid package may include, among other things, canned food, bags of rice, and chocolate – the association reported in a summary sent to MTI on Tuesday.
As they write, the organizing Food Bank expects a larger wave of help than before during the weekend collection, since the number of stores participating in the charity campaign and the number of volunteers involved in receiving, sorting, and distributing the donations have increased significantly compared to previous campaigns.
According to the announcement, the collection will take place on Friday and Saturday in the stores of four retail chains, ALDI, Auchan, Lidl and Tesco, in 410 stores in 202 settlements 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. Donations will be accepted on Friday between 2 and 8 p.m. and on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
For those in need, canned food, rice, pasta and matching sauces, baby food, jams and preserves, as well as biscuits and sweets provide the greatest help, as well as foods that do not require refrigeration
– they wrote.
For many children, the free school canteen is their regular main meal, so when there is no school, it is more difficult for them to get breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The goal of the weekend fundraiser is to ensure that the Food Bank can provide them with a sufficient amount of non-perishable food for the summer period, they added.
