In early July 2026, the Istanbul Foundation organized the distribution of kurban meat donations to people in need across Turkey, marking a seasonal charitable effort.

Later in the month, municipal authorities in Bursa’s Mudanya and Altıeylül districts expanded their social assistance programmes. Mudanya delivered food parcels to households in all 47 neighbourhoods, while Altıeylül processed thousands of applications, providing food, clothing, cash transfers and hot‑meal services to thousands of families and individuals. The combined initiatives illustrate a broader, ongoing push by both civil society and local governments to address economic hardship through direct food aid.
