Katalin Novák prepared gift packages for the homeless
As part of the Advent programme helping the homeless organised by the Hungarian Reformed Charity Service, President Katalin Novák participated in assembling packages at the Service’s Budapest Centre. The President, along with the organisation’s staff, delivered the packages to the Hungarian Reformed Homeless Mission operated by Tiszta Forrás (Pure Spring) Foundation.
The packages prepared with the help of the President included ready-made meals, canned foods, salty snacks, chocolates and Christmas candy, immune-boosting supplements, and toiletries.
Katalin Novák arrived at the location in the green jacket of the aid organization. While packaging, she asked the organization's associates about the charity programmes of the Service during Advent. After preparing the gifts, the President went to the homeless shelter in the charity organization's minibus.
According to the information provided by the Hungarian Reformed Christian Charity Service, during the winter months, they would like to support more than ten thousand people living in difficult conditions throughout the Carpathian Basin with their various programmes.
