The "Heti Betevő" (Weekly Food) is a grassroot initiative. It formed in Budapest 7. district in 2013 to help people who are in need in the neighborhood. Its main purpose is to involve the local community and to sensitize society toward poverty and homelessness. On the lunch homelesses, poors, large families, low-income pensioners are participating from the neighborhood. It is a great help for them giving lunch every week at the same time and place. The ingredients which needed to prepare for Sunday lunch are predominantly sourced via cash donations. Donations gathered each week in the money-boxes placed in the restaurants, caterers and cafés of the district. The joining of the collection sites is on voluntary basis. "Heti betevő" places the money-boxes and takes the regular donations. The places who joined in are posted on the money-box-map which is available on their Facebook profile.
