‘Cook of Thousand Meals’ initiative

• 29 Mar 2024

This initiative comes in line with the Bank’s objective of providing 5 million meals to beneficiaries during Ramadan.

The UAE Food Bank, an initiative under the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global
Initiatives Foundation, in partnership with Taya Art Production, launched the ‘Cook of
Thousand Meals’ initiative, under which 20 thousand meals were prepared and
distributed for Iftar and Suhoor.

The programme was carried out in Hatta and Za’beel in Dubai, during which over 30
volunteers contributed to the preparing, cooking, and packaging stages. This initiative
comes in line with the Bank’s objective of providing 5 million meals to beneficiaries
during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The programme’s objective is to unite Emirati chefs and residents to collaborate in
preparing and donating meals to the Bank. This initiative aims to foster a sense of
community responsibility and cooperation, emphasising the importance of preserving
food from waste and distributing it to beneficiaries. Additionally, the program seeks to
cultivate a consumer culture aligned with the developmental and constructive vision of
the Bank.
