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

               launch of five initiatives through which it will distribute five million meals this

               Ramadan.

               The initiative is held under the directives and supervision of the wife of His
               Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime

               Minister and Ruler of Dubai, H.H. Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al
               Maktoum, Chairperson of the UAE Food Bank.

               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.
