Food Distributions in the Run-up to Christmas During Times of Crisis
Residents of small towns and cities alike are benefiting from this week’s food donations by Krishna devotees—Jászság and Óbuda are the next stops in the pre-holiday food distribution series. They will continue their relief efforts through Christmas in the capital, as well as in Somogy, Heves, and Hajdú-Bihar counties, reaching a total of more than 5,300 people with their gifts. A Population Stricken by Crises The resurgence of the coronavirus pandemic and the […]
We collected 7,300 kg of food during the fundraising weekend
Over the weekend, we took part in a fantastic initiative organized by the Hungarian Food Bank Association—a food drive involving 6,500 volunteers and more than 130 stores. We participated at three large supermarkets, two in Budapest and one in Eger, where we received a total of 7,300 kg of non-perishable food—mainly flour, oil, sugar, and, of course, Christmas treats and delicacies—which we’ll be sharing with others during our Advent campaign […]
Food Distribution in Somogyvámos Ahead of the Holidays
Following the organization of the special pre-holiday food distribution in Budapest, we are also paying special attention to those in need living in rural areas during the Advent season. On November 27, starting at 10 a.m., we will deliver Christmas surprise packages—containing non-perishable foods, fresh vegetables, fruits, and sweets. Before the pandemic, the local government would, year after year […]
Without this person, there would be no "Food for Life" today
Without his inspiration, guidance, and determination, Food for Life probably wouldn’t exist today. – At his suggestion, there are no hungry people within a 15-kilometer radius of any Krishna temple, and every center has a kitchen that distributes food. – Food distributions in every country reach those most in need. – The meals consist of vegetarian and vegan options; they contain no meat, […]
Sweet signs of mutual love
We visited the Miskolc-Lyukóvölgy region, which used to be a mining town but later became depopulated and is now home to severely disadvantaged families. Our rural food distribution program, called „Like a Slice of Bread,” helped 100 families this time. We delivered a total of 1 metric ton of potatoes and apples, as well as toys, children’s clothing, and notebooks for the children and families. All of this is a rarity here; the people living here have only […]
600 meals in the Pétervására region
The „Like a Bite of Bread” program is in full swing. Most recently, we visited the towns of Szentdomonkos and Pétervására and delivered 600 hot meals to families in need. The Aranykapu Center helped us with this initiative—thank you for the wonderful organization and the photos! 🙂 Along with the hot lunches, we also distributed packages containing canned beans, flour, milk, salty snacks, granola bars, and cookies […]
For the same amount of money, we’ll serve half as much food—we’re organizing a food drive for 500 people
As a result of the pandemic over the past two years, we are feeling even more acutely—both in major cities and in rural areas—that life has become harder: food prices have risen, fuel prices have skyrocketed, and entire sectors have gone bankrupt. More families are in need of assistance, and single people, too, have found themselves in a tighter financial squeeze than ever before. However, the price hikes have also affected the aid organizations themselves […]

The purpose of this day is to raise awareness of the global problem of hunger. It’s very important to note that discussions on this topic go beyond simply pointing out that there isn’t enough […]
