The Hungarian Red Cross’s food collection set a record

Outperforming previous years’ results, the Hungarian Red Cross collected more than 72,000 kilograms of durable food and cleaning products in a two-day campaign with Tesco in December. The humanitarian organization is providing current donations to families in need throughout the country during the winter.

The Hungarian Red Cross continued its two-day grocery shopping campaign in December at Tesco stores. On 6 and 7 December, 112 stores across the country asked customers to add one more to their shopping carts for the most basic foods and cleaning and toiletries. This year there was also a list of donors who, in addition to material donations, could financially support the winter care of those in need.
