Family Cooking Together in Pécsbánya
In October, our foundation’s team from Pécs visited the Pécsbánya Temporary Shelter for Families, where—in addition to distributing non-perishable food packages and toys— they also treated the families living there—who are facing difficult circumstances—to a vegetarian feast prepared together. Fall has arrived, and damp, cool days are creeping into our daily lives. The life-giving rays of the sun caress our faces less and less often, and our moods are also volatile. Yet, amid the grayness of October, we still managed to bring some cheer […]
Together Against Poverty – Interfaith Food Distribution on World Food Day
„Whoever saves a life saves the whole world.” (Talmud) Our foundation, as the humanitarian organization of the Hungarian Community of Krishna Conscious Believers, is organizing a special food distribution at Blaha Lujza Square in cooperation with several churches, to mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The event will take place on Saturday, October 17, beginning at 11:00 a.m. This is the second time an interfaith food distribution has been organized, although in the 2000s […]
Fruit Distribution for Refugees – Here's How You Can Help!
The first phase of our relief effort for asylum seekers passing through Hungary has come to a close, but our work is not over yet—in fact, it’s just really getting started. Next, we’ll be providing assistance in the border regions, and we’re counting on your help with fruit donations. Every morning at 6:00 a.m., a train pulled into the transit zone at Nyugati Station, bringing 150–300 travelers. In total, over the course of one month, we served 5,000 bowls of hot food and […]
Aid for Refugees
Our foundation is also doing its part to alleviate the refugee crisis affecting our country, as our goal is to help all those in need by distributing hot meals. In our relief efforts, we never discriminate on the basis of origin, religion, or any other factors; the only thing we consider is that our fellow human beings are in a vulnerable situation and depend on the goodwill of others. The food distribution center located at Nyugati Station […]
Beyond Food Distribution: A Relief Effort in Győrszentiván
On July 31, our Foundation’s Pécs team organized the distribution of 50 packages of non-perishable food in Győr. In addition to the donations, they treated local residents in need to an awareness-raising performance, candy, and refreshing lemonade. Our organization launched its charity campaign in Győr last summer, and it is largely thanks to the support of local businesses that we have been able to continue helping families in need this year as well. From various parts of the country […]
Take Action! – Awareness Campaign
As the program drew to a close, we sat down with our students and instructors to discuss how we could present the project’s results and the products we created to the Hungarian public and to the small communities near the Foundation’s offices in a youthful, interactive, and exciting way—to the Hungarian public and to the small communities living near the Foundation’s offices. It was during a lively brainstorming session that the idea for our musical, dance-filled, attention-grabbing parade was born, which […]
School Meal Assistance
The school meal subsidy was established to assist social institutions that do not provide meals, and therefore do not always ensure meals for their clients—or do so only to a minimal extent. Currently, we provide nutritious hot meals, bread, and—whenever possible—fruit, yogurt, and other food items daily to 40 children living in the Bokréta Residential Homes operated by the Budapest Municipal Government. We believe that through our efforts, we are helping to meet the basic physical […]
The Woodstock Festival and Us
At the food distribution event for this three-day festival, held annually in Poland, our volunteers helped distribute nearly 200,000 servings of hot lunches, fruit, and sweets were distributed among the young festivalgoers. The world’s largest music festival combined with a free food distribution—the famous Polish Woodstock Festival, held in the city of Kostrzyn from July 30 to August 1—is here. The vast area […]
Youth Team-Building and Outreach Program in Bercel
With the participation of our students, volunteers, and teachers, we presented and promoted the vegetarian lifestyle and the project’s achievements to date at a one-week international youth music festival. Our foundation contacted the festival organizers last year, and thanks to the Pizza Effect program, we were able to establish a more intensive and wide-ranging collaboration with them this year. This event proved to be a great opportunity […]
Food on the Island of Peace
The week-long SUN Festival, renowned for its tranquility and spiritual rejuvenation, took place in mid-July. Our foundation also played a significant role in ensuring the program’s success, so in addition to providing spiritual support, we also emphasized the importance of the principle „a healthy mind in a healthy body” through our free food distribution. Thanks to the SUN Festival, Bercel once again became an island of peace for a week. The fairytale-like setting was provided by the […]
