Charity
The Foundation is in connection with many families who live in deep poverty. All donation offered to the Foundation is channeled to these families directly, without involving any other organization. The volunteers of Foundation play an important role in distributing the donations.
Christmas donation 2015
A company offered a donation worth 2 500 000,- HuF for the Foundation for Christmas in 2015. The donations contained 233-233 children and 30-30 adult sweaters and pullovers. This donation was distributed to 233 children and to 30 adults in Tiszabő, Tiszagyenda, Tiszaroff and Tiszabura by the Foundation’s volunteers on the last school day in 2015.
Christmas shoeboxes 2015
In the last few years the shoeboxes became a popular form of charity in Hungary. Those who want to help take a shoebox and fill it with small presents, for instance games, stationaries, hygiene equipment, sweets and books. Then the filled shoeboxes are collected at a central point by an organization which distribute them to those who are in need.
Our Foundation received 355 shoeboxes as donations of private persons in 2015; our volunteers distributed the boxes in Tiszabő, Tiszagyenda and Tiszaroff.
