A new food distribution point has opened in Erzs\u00e9betv\u00e1ros. Following the success of the model family support programme in \u00d3buda, more and more districts are signalling their need for the service.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The opening of the new food distribution point took place on 12 November at 11:30 am at the new location at 3 R\u00f3zsa u., with the participation of the Municipality of Erzs\u00e9betv\u00e1ros and the Food for Life Foundation. Here 400 people per day<\/strong> are served fresh, nutritious, hot meals. With this we now serve around 1500 people a day in the capital<\/strong>. In addition to the public catering on Teleki Square and feeding a children's home, we provide food for hundreds of people in \u00d3buda for those in need identified by the local family support service, and we also hold weekly or monthly food days in rural towns.<\/p>\n

Our family support programme is an effective local intersectoral cooperation<\/strong> between a local government, its institutions and NGOs. In Erzs\u00e9betv\u00e1ros, at the request of the Municipality, at the request of Mrs. Keresztes M\u00f3nika R\u00f3nasz\u00e9kin\u00e9, Member of Parliament, and Mrs. Bartusn\u00e9 Benedek Barbara, Member of the Municipality, we are introducing a model similar to the one in \u00d3buda. The local family support workers will identify the most needy families, pensioners and unemployed people living in the district.<\/p>\n

By providing a hot lunch, families not only have access to healthy, nutritious food (which is \u201equality starvation\u201d<\/strong> but also contributes to reducing its disadvantages by providing opportunities for financial savings. The model programme responds to real needs in a tangible way, overall a sustainable social ecosystem based on a small local community, which has the effect of transforming the recipient from being self-sufficient to self-sufficient. By meeting basic physiological needs, our programme indirectly helps people to reintegrate into society and the labour market, which is also an obvious economic benefit<\/strong> also produces.<\/p>\n
