Iftar with Workers initiative

The UAE Food Bank is organising an initiative focused on providing iftar meals to over
2,000 workers in Dubai. The primary goal of this initiative is to foster community
solidarity and acknowledge the invaluable contributions of workers.

The Cook of Thousand Meals initiative

The UAE Food Bank is set to organize ‘Cook of Thousand Meals’ competition, an event
convening aspiring chefs to cook and distribute 4,000 meals daily over five days during
the holy month of Ramadan in the UAE. This collaborative initiative is being organized
in partnership with Taya Production.

Furthermore, the bank will collaborate with 200 donors from fruit and vegetable markets,
commercial enterprises, and wholesale markets to redistribute surplus food and prepare

meals adhering to high-quality standards for the well-being of workers, with a goal to
provide up to two million meals. Additionally, any surplus cooked meals from local
restaurants and hotels will also be distributed.
