MAGYAR

The holiday season – full of good food and festivities-  has passed and it’s important to remember that not everyone in Budapest and Hungary was lucky enough to spend the holidays with a feast. To start the new year, Uber is partnering the Caritas Hungarica to use our technology and our network of driver partners to help Budapest give back. On Thursday, January 7th between 1pm – 8pm, request a special car GIVING to come to your home or office to collect food for donation for free.

ON THURSDAY BETWEEN 1PM – 8PM UBER WILL PICK UP YOUR FOOD DONATIONS FOR FREE.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Open the Uber app on Thursday Jan 7th between 1pm- 8pm.
  2. Swipe to the GIVING icon and request a car completely free of charge.
  3. In minutes, Uber will arrive to pick up your donations and will deliver to Caritas Hungarica.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

  • canned food (paté, meat, beans and fish cans etc.)
  • soups (packets, cup soups etc.)
  • sugar, tea, coffee
  • pasta, rice, semolina and cereal
  • oil, syrups, jams, canned fruit
  • drinks in tetrapack (milk, juices)
  • hygienic necessities

WHERE WILL YOUR FOOD DONATIONS GO?

Caritas Hungarica will redistributes food countrywide. The food donations will be redistributed to those where it is needed the most including shelters, children’s homes and halfway houses.
