The awareness of the retailers was raised by Zsuzsa Hegedűs, president of the advisory board of a foundation which helps hungry children in the country.

Hegedűs says there are at least 10,000 children in Hungarian villages under three years of age, where local councils are unable to maintain nursery schools in which these children should receive free food during school hours, according to Hungarian law.

The big retailers will, as of April, deliver food to these local council to be distributed among children in need.
