I first took part in a Christmas charity program in South America more than 10 years ago. For my wife’s (who is Ecuadorian) extended family, this was a completely natural thing to do, and it was simply part of the holiday tradition. Every year, in the months leading up to Christmas, with the help of aid organizations, we would select a family for whom such a gesture made a huge difference. We patched up a dilapidated tin shack in a single day […]
Family support
Social problems, job losses resulting from the protracted crisis, and declining family incomes all pose new challenges for the social welfare system. Unfortunately, families’ financial difficulties, the fast-paced nature of modern life, and the mental strain caused by problematic environmental factors also lead to psychological and substance abuse issues. One of the most serious problems in families’ lives is housing […]
Childcare
In the coming years, our organization aims to expand the range of its programs for children, because the physical and mental well-being of our society’s future generations is deeply close to our hearts. We consider supporting children and families to be a key priority, particularly helping children in need, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and children with disabilities. In addition to our public meal programs, family support programs, food deliveries, and events, we also assist numerous families with multiple children […]
Festive food distributions
Nonprofit organizations and volunteers themselves are well aware that poverty levels in Hungary have risen as a result of the economic crisis; therefore, on Christmas, Easter, Children’s Day, and other special occasions, we organize special programs in various parts of the country. For many families, the holiday season is a time for spending time together, relaxing, and feasting, while for others, due to financial difficulties, none of this is […]
Emergency aid
Our organization strives to assist those affected by disasters, as well as the professionals carrying out rescue operations. Since our foundation’s primary activity is providing meals, we supply people who have experienced tragedies primarily with hot meals whenever possible; if that is not feasible, we provide them with non-perishable food. Our organization joins the rescue efforts […] after basic living conditions have been restored, usually during the first week following a disaster.
Extraordinary Easter food distribution
Clothing, toys, and chocolate await families in need this Easter at Blaha Square. On April 7, Easter Saturday, starting at 11 a.m., we will once again hold a special food distribution in Budapest at Blaha Lujza Square. Similar to our traditional Christmas relief effort, we’re planning a special event to distribute approximately 1,200 meals and food packages in the capital—not just for residents of Budapest. Our volunteers will once again be providing the usual nutritious, delicious, […]
Winter crisis with increased rationing
Freezing, windy, icy weather that cuts to the bone makes life even harder for those who are already enduring the winter under precarious conditions. Such weather hits hardest those who often spend their days and nights in unheated homes, so we’re doing everything we can to help these people. In light of this crisis, we are preparing to provide enhanced support over the coming weeks […]
