Food for Life - six hundred food parcels for Christmas - www.obuda.hu

600 hot meals and donation packs were distributed by the Meals for Life programme of the Krishna Conscious Believers of Hungary's Poor Relief Mission on 22 December on Vörösvár Road. The local government has traditionally maintained good relations with the Krishnas, and Mayor Balázs Bús helped with the Saturday's special food distribution.

To celebrate the holidays, the volunteers in the queue not only received a delicious hot lunch, but also a durable food parcel, toys and sweets to make this a more meaningful, bearable and hopeful time for those in need and their children. The organisers reckoned that with several days' worth of non-perishable food parcels, even the poorest families could survive modestly until the end of the holidays.

On the Vörösvári road, in front of the Village Hall near Flórián Square, people in need were waiting from 12 noon, but by the time the event started, there were already 200 people in line. The Krishna devotees' centre on the Star Mountain is open to visitors throughout the holiday season. Those who wish to experience the warmth and inner peace of the holidays are welcome.
