Food Bank Budapest: Expats Help Refugees
A good group of expats in Budapest have set up a food bank for those in need coming from Ukraine, they aim to feed as many people as possible who are clearly in need of this support service.

This group of volunteers are donating their time without any administration costs. They say they greatly appreciate any items donated from the list below, and add, “Without sounding unappreciative we really must keep to the list to ensure the smooth running and we get the right items that are needed”.

There are other fresh items that they provide which aren’t on the list below, since they order these to be delivered on the day of distribution as they are unable to store these items. Also, they provide LIDL vouchers for meat: 2000 HUF for a single person and 5000 HUF for a family of four.

Go Fund Them

They have a donation page on “Go Fund Me” for those wishing to contribute cash, they add that they are more than happy with item donations - see list below.
