Charity Taxi

Mission

The idea to set up Charity Taxi is rooted in the 2015 refugee crisis, when we witnessed a massive civic collaboration to help those in need. The willingness of this crowd to extend a helping hand was both moving and inspiring. It proved that a multitude of people were willing and ready to help in a multitude of ways, and it showed that Budapest had incredible potential when it came to donations. However, we felt and saw that many people never made it to action from intention. Thus, the idea was born to make it easier to donate and by picking up donations from people’s homes.

In the past seven years, the charity collected donations from more than 3000 households in the capital city and delivered it to 100 different towns with the help of 600 volunteers.

Fundraising goal

We are proud that in the last 8 years we have never had to suspend our operation - coronavirus epidemic here, soaring inflation there. We regularly return to many of our partners, they trust us and rely on us. We do everything we can to ensure that we can keep providing the same quality of service to the communities we support. However, this often requires innovative solutions, including in the area of financing. Private donations are an important pillar of our work. Even a small amount - the price of a cinema ticket, a pizza or a motorway toll sticker - can make a huge difference to our ability to continue to support those who need us.

Other ways to support

You can help by donating smaller items to families in need, help our work as a volunteer or support our work financially.
