If a person is a Ukrainian refugee, their children may be eligible for free meals at a kindergarten or school.

If a person is an applicant or holder of temporary protection status, or if they have Hungarian citizenship, and they previously lived in Ukraine, their minor kid is entitled to free meals in a nursery, kindergarten, or school for at least 6 months.

To do so, you must apply for free meals as a Ukrainian refugee, submitting documentation as an applicant or holder of temporary protection status. You might inquire with the child's nursery, kindergarten, or school about how to apply for free lunches.

In this instance, you have to complete a family income form. If you have any further questions, please contact the hotline at +36 80 984 583.
