SPAR Hungary and customers donate school supplies to 1,500 children

For the second time, a ‘Joy to Give’ collection campaign for school supplies was run by SPAR Hungary in partnership with the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service. This campaign is targeted at supporting children in need by donating school supplies at the start of the new school year.

Donating school supplies

From August 24 to August 27, 2022, INTERSPAR Hypermarket customers could purchase school supplies instore, including notebooks, stationery items, pencil cases, school bags, and other necessary goods. Volunteers of the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service collected the purchases.

In addition, shoppers could support the campaign by purchasing donation cards between July 20 and September 4, 2022. The cards were available on SPAR’s online platform and in participating INTERSPAR hypermarkets. Customers could select donation cards valued at 500, 1500, 3000, 5000, or 10,000 HUF. The donations were used to purchase much-needed school supplies. A team from the charity service delivered the supplies to children in need before the start of the school year.

Hungary

Partners for almost 30 years

“Our ‘Joy to Give!’ campaign has been running for 26 years this year. Last year was the first time we teamed up with the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta to collect school supplies at Interspar Hypermarkets. Our customers purchased over 57,000 school supplies and donated over 2,200,000 HUF. SPAR Hungary complemented this support with an additional donation of 1,000,000 HUF. As a result, about 1,500 children received some form of support to make the start of the school year easier”, said Márk Maczelka, Head of Communications at SPAR Hungary.

The Hungarian Maltese Charity Service has been SPAR Hungary’s strategic partner for almost thirty years. The ‘Joy to Give!’ school supply collection campaign is one of the most successful of their many joint initiatives. This donation campaign is based on the successful food donation campaign run by SPAR Hungary in the lead-up to Christmas last year.
