Another weekend has passed with a feast of love
On December 13 this year This was the second time we held our Advent charity dinner in Budapest. The event's Garay Square in District VII hosted the event, in cooperation with the local government.
And on Silver Sunday, In Szeged, on Zárda Street We hosted families in need from the city and the surrounding area.
The purpose of these events was, once again, to mark the approaching holidays not just hot food, but attention, care, and human presence Let's also give to those who need it most right now.
A Feast of Love at Garay Square
At Garay Square 350 food packages containing a variety of items and warm Szekler cabbage We handed them out. Several well-known figures helped out at the event. In attendance were Balázs Szücs, Deputy Mayor for Civil Affairs of Erzsébetváros, who personally handed out the lunch to the district’s residents, and actor Miklós Bányai, who distributed the fish soup.
In addition to the package of non-perishable food items, guests Pumpkin from Krishna Valley and fresh bread They received some as well, so the holiday tables were truly well-stocked.
Szeged – Gift-giving on Silver Sunday
The second stop of the weekend is the The Central Office of "Food for Life" in Szeged there were places where 300 people in need We welcomed them with food packages and a hot lunch, giving them a taste of the warmth of Christmas ahead of time. Guests came not only from Szeged but also from the surrounding towns.
Gift-giving in three shifts took place, and during our conversations we encountered many heartbreaking life situations: people who had lost their jobs, families facing housing insecurity, disability pensioners, single mothers with young children, and even an elderly woman who had temporarily found shelter with others after losing her job following many years of work. At the event, the szeged.hu was out there, too
We’ve heard many difficult stories over the past few days, and we’re grateful that we were able to sweeten the bitterness of everyday life just a little with hot meals, food, and a kind word. There will also be a clothing drive in Szeged on December 18.
