Last year the charity distributed the same number of packages filled with exercise books, pencil boxes, glue, sports equipment and schoolbags, primarily in the country’s poorer northern and north-eastern counties, it said.

Béla Szilágyi, the charity’s head, said the charity provides aid to poor families throughout the year, providing clothes and food products.

Collection points in the city include Nyugati Square (Aug 30-31), while online donations can be given at www.sulidoboz.hu.

Meanwhile, the Red Cross has also started an online fundraiser for 3,000 schoolchildren and their families across the country, the organisation said.

The action ending on Aug 31 similarly focuses on collecting and delivering school supplies such as coloured pencils, gym clothes and sports shoes.
