Civilians can help women in need through the Hungarian campaign
Change language:
Waking up in the morning, showering, washing your hair, putting lotion on, brushing your teeth – being refreshed and feeling clean is natural for most of us. That’s why the #nemluxustáska (notaluxurybag) campaign was born, helping thousands of women in need. Aid packages are welcome at collection points on specific days between 18 February and 11 March 2023. People can drop off aid packages also through the FOXPOST automatic parcel lockers for free between 15 February and 15 March.
The idea first popped into Szandra Cserta’s head in 2018, but she never, in a million years, imagined that a campaign of this size could grow out of a phone conversation. Along with Ági Huszka and Anna Kovács-Pálffy, the team put together all their strength and expertise to bring about this success story.
In the past few years, they have garnered countless enthusiastic volunteers and established numerous drop-off points all across the country, while Hungarian Maltese Charity Service (Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat) also joined in managing some of the logistic work.

You ought not to put any medicine, clothing, food, knives, razors or other items that could potentially cause damage in the bag. For hygiene reasons, tampons, washable pads and menstrual cups are still on the list of items that should be left out. Due to size issues, clean socks and panties are not accepted in the package.
