An initiative under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) umbrella, the UAE
Food Bank focuses on effectively managing surplus
food, minimising waste, and globally distributing it to
the beneficiaries. Its effort underscores the values of
kindness, generosity, charity, and social welfare.
The initiative aims to distribute 166,666 meals daily to
feed over half a million families and more than three
million workers.
The bank's commitment to supplying meals to
beneficiaries encompasses diverse sub-initiatives and
campaigns, including the 'Your Iftar is on Us' campaign,
the 'No for Wasting Food initiative, the 'Cook of
Thousand Meals' initiative, 'Food Parcel,' and 'Iftar with
the Workers.' Additionally, 25 educational programmes
will be implemented to raise awareness of
environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and
volunteering.
Anticipating widespread support, the bank expects more
than 350 strategic partners and supporters from food
facilities, hotels, and companies.
