Food distribution in Debrecen every Sunday
In Debrecen, in the eastern part of the country, there is also a Krishna Govinda restaurant, where members of our local “Food for Life” program organize a food distribution every Sunday in the restaurant’s garden. For years, our volunteers have been dedicated to cooking and hosting more than 100 people on this beautiful day—they organize this family-style Sunday lunch from the heart, in the spirit of a large family gathering. We thank our volunteers for their work, who […]
We're collecting food this weekend!
Tonight, May 12, and all day Saturday, May 13, we will be collecting food with the help of two department stores in the capital. We’re carrying out this program in partnership with the Hungarian Food Bank Association, thanks to whom we’re able to deliver hundreds of metric tons of non-perishable food to those in need each year. But for now, we’re looking forward to your donations at the stores! 🙂 You can find the […] at the ALDI on Huszti Street and the TESCO in Fót.
22 April: special food distribution on Earth Day
On April 22, starting at 11 a.m., “Food for Life”—a public benefit foundation that carries out the humanitarian program of the Krishna devotees—will hold a special spring food and package distribution event at Almássy Square.

Food distributions are continuing here in our country as well!
We didn’t just distribute food in Turkey after the earthquake—we’re also continuing our regular food distribution program here at home, of course! Did you know?

It began with the distribution of dry pasta and potatoes; today, half a million servings of rich, delicious, and nutritious hot lunches are distributed each year. We participate in the […]
Our food distributors have returned from Turkey!
Our food distribution teams have returned from Antakya, Turkey, where they distributed more than 1,000 meals a day in the region hardest hit by the earthquake. According to a report by Attila Szanyi-Karl, the foundation’s president, Turkey faces an enormous challenge, as the ongoing aftershocks will make it very difficult to rebuild the region. One night during their stay, they experienced a 5.1-magnitude earthquake. The […]
More earthquakes in Turkey, but food distribution continues!
Cooking tips from the “Food for Life” campsite in Turkey. South of Antakya, the Krishna devotees distributing food have set up camp in the garden of a kind family. The weather is getting milder, but temperatures still drop below freezing at night. However, this particular night was made unforgettable by a 5.1-magnitude earthquake—unfortunately in a negative sense, as it caused quite a scare. It’s no coincidence that our food distributors sleep under the open sky, […]

Thousands of servings of hot meals for survivors of the earthquakes in Turkey
The members of the food distribution mission in Turkey got up very early, since the temperature is still -2 degrees at night; it was almost a relief to fire up the cooking pots and get to work. At the suggestion of the military, our food distribution team set up camp south of Antakya, in a suburban area, since, unfortunately, atrocities had taken place in the inner parts of the city. The guys had already prepared more than 400 servings for breakfast […]
