The Only One Service has expanded its communications with a new format: we have launched our own podcast series, Hajlék Podcast.
Through the podcast, we would like to bring the issue of homelessness closer to our audience and create space for conversations that can help us see people experiencing homelessness in a different light. We believe that they, too, are made in the image of God and are just as worthy of respect and love as anyone else.
We also want to show how we see the people we meet, the stories and life situations we encounter every day, and how we try to stand alongside them at our day shelter on Király Street in Budapest.

In September, we launched our new volunteer system, designed to give people who want to help more opportunities to connect with the mission of Only One Mission.
Alongside our existing kitchen and professional volunteering opportunities, which are open throughout the year, new areas of service are now available: maintenance, logistics, fundraising, communications and prayer support.
Volunteers who commit for the academic year now regularly support our work.
We are deeply grateful to each of them for giving their time, knowledge and prayers in service of people in need.

Maintenance fund
In recent years, we have renewed the electrical network, boiler and bathrooms in our day room. The work has involved several major unforeseen expenses.
As our Service is housed in an old basement, conservation and regular maintenance are an ongoing task. Our aim is to provide a clean, safe and tidy space for all those who visit us every day.
To maintain such an environment, public funding alone is not enough - the help of our generous supporters is essential. The maintenance fund allows us to respond in a timely manner to technical problems that arise and to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
If you'd like to help, you can do so via the current campaigns section:

Operating fund
The contribution of donors is essential for the day-to-day running of the Only One. While the state budget is decreasing year by year and not adjusted for inflation, operating costs - prices, wages - are constantly rising.
It is the operating fund that allows our work to continue smoothly and without interruption.
Every grant helps to ensure that people in need can count on us every day.

One of the most important measures of our service is the number of guests per day. This indicator has been slowly but steadily increasing over the years, and currently stands at:
In the summer the average number of our guests is 120, while in wintertime sometimes we help as much as 180 people on weekdays.
In addition, here are three pieces of steadily growing data. They sum up the core activities of our service since 2011. We look at them with gratitude. If you'd like to make the next 100 sandwiches or experience the power of community prayer, contact us!

There is always hope. There is always something to be thankful for. That's what we see, what we experience. This is reflected in our weekly good news and personal stories, available on social media as #goodnewsfortheweek.
We face difficult, or even hopeless situations on a daily basis. But in our experience, something good always shines through in the midst of the overwhelming hardships. Something that gives us hope.
Every week we bring you news and reports from the field. We give you a glimpse into the moments when we saw the Light shining through the cracks of the broken faces. You'll get a glimpse into moments in our ministry when the presence of Goodness, Love and Hope became tangible.
Look for our #goodnewsfortheweek hashtag, see beyond the surface and become a witness of hope where you live!
