Burendag is an initiative of Douwe Egberts and the Oranje Fonds. Every year this day is celebrated on the fourth Saturday in September. “It makes it easier to get to know neighbors that you don’t normally speak to. After such a first meeting, it is easier to seek each other or to ask for help,” the organization said.
