The Catholic Charity’s Advent fundraising aid program began on Sunday, the organization announced.
“Open your hearts!” The purpose of the action is twofold: on the one hand, I want to sneak the holiday into the lives of those in need, and on the other hand, they encourage charity. In the announcement, Gábor Écsy, the national director of Katolikus Karitász, was quoted as saying that it is important to focus our attention on our neighbors and those who live alone, and to provide concrete help. THE
it is worth visiting with open eyes and an open heart
he added.
He also reported that, in addition to the continuous non-perishable food collection, a variety of charity events are organized throughout the country during the winter. On the One Million Stars solidarity day for the poor, candles are handed out in exchange for a donation, and in the Angel Bat sale, anyone can make a personalized gift package for children with a difficult fate and drop it off at one of the national collection points until the middle of December. In addition, a large-scale Christmas concert will be organized in the Szent István Basilica to help children in need, the director listed.
Those interested can join the Christmas fundraising program of Katolikus Karitász in several ways: by calling the donation line 1356, they can support the work of the organization with HUF 500, they can contribute any amount by donating online, and through the diocesan charity centers and the announced collection points, a local program can be supported in material or with a monetary donation.
