DUBAI, 15th March, 2024 (WAM) -- The UAE Food Bank has announced the

Minister and Ruler of Dubai, H.H. Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al

An initiative under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives
(MBRGI) umbrella, the UAE Food Bank focuses on effectively managing surplus

The initiative aims to distribute 166,666 meals daily to feed over half a million

diverse sub-initiatives and campaigns, including the 'Your Iftar is on Us'
campaign, the 'No for Wasting Food initiative, the 'Cook of Thousand Meals'

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.
