The Christmas period is the happiest time of the year for the lucky ones, and it is especially important this year, in the current critical situation.
We all know Christmas is not a carefree time for people living under difficult conditions.
Józsefváros Municipality follows its traditions and organizes the collection of donations asking the community of the district to support our needy members to make Christmas special for them too.
Our goal is to put food on the festive table and Christmas presents under the tree for children whose parents cannot afford it.
Last year your donations helped many single people and families thanks to the solidarity of Józsefváros residents.
Let us show we can make Christmas happy for all members of the community.
What are we collecting?
- Non-perishable food
- Toys (in original packaging for reasons of hygiene)
When are we collecting?
From November 28 until December 13, 2022.
