‘Your Iftar is on Us’ initiative

Within the framework of ‘Your Iftar is on Us’ initiative, the UAE Food Bank is set to
gather meals for distribution to beneficiaries both within and outside the UAE. This
initiative aims to provide 350,000 meals, generously donated by more than 50
organisations. The campaign will be organised by seven entities, with the participation

of several volunteers collaborating to ensure its successful implementation.

Donate a Food Parcel initiative

The goal of ‘Donate a Food Parcel’ initiative is to gather contributions in the form of food
parcels through the purchase of vouchers redeemable at local retail stores. These food

parcels are projected to supply up to 1.5 million meals, aligning with the UAE Food
Bank’s commitment to ensuring families have sufficient access to food and actively
participate in the fight against hunger.
