Since 2009, GypsyAid, the social outreach branch of Hungarian Gypsy Missions International, has been offering practical, hands-on support to families facing hardship. Through a network of 13 CharityPoints across Hungary, we collect and distribute essential donations—such as clothing, shoes, household items, and toys— while also sharing the hope and truth of the Gospel.
A cornerstone of this effort is the Pepita Donation Center, where high-quality donated goods are made available at symbolic prices. This model not only maintains the dignity of those we serve but also helps fund additional assistance programs, including the provision of firewood and non-perishable food.
We invite you—whether as an individual, community group, or organization—to join our expanding circle of supporters. While material donations remain our primary need, we also welcome financial contributions and long-term partnerships that enable us to extend our reach and impact.

items must be in good, usable condition.
Do you accept donations from abroad?
Yes! We already have international partners and are open to structured collaborations that involve regular shipments or collection drives.
