Bin Yaroof said: “Our collaboration with private sector partners reflects the eagerness of various segments,
groups, and sectors within society to participate in charitable and humanitarian efforts. This collaboration

supports the promotion of community responsibility and encouragement of volunteerism, reflecting the
values of goodness, generosity, compassion, solidarity, and brotherhood during the holy month of
Ramadan.”

Ibrahim Ali Khadem, Program Manager, stated that the program’s first phase was launched in Hatta region
over three days, during which more than 8,700 meals were distributed. He subsequently proceeded to

highlight the second and third phases, held at Za’beel Park in Dubai, which surpassed the distribution of
12,000 breakfast meals and Suhoor. These events were held amid a spirit of community cooperation and
familiarity, with the participation of citizens and resident chefs.

The program was sponsored by a group of private food institutions and companies, dedicated to supplying

all necessary materials and equipment for kitchen setups. This support was instrumental in ensuring the
program’s success and achieving its key objectives.

During the holy month of Ramadan, UAE Food Bank’s initiatives are aimed at providing 166,666 meals daily
to beneficiaries through various initiatives and sub-campaigns. These include the ‘Your Iftar is on Us’
campaign, the ‘No for Wasting Food’ initiative, ‘Cook of Thousand Meals,’ ‘Food Parcel,’ the ‘Iftar with the

Workers’ initiatives, along with 25 awareness programs. Additionally, the Bank’s initiatives and campaigns
will receive support of over 350 strategic partners from food establishments, hotels, and companies.
