During the Holy Month of Ramadan, the UAE Food Bank donated 5,104,398 meals to low-income workers and families in the UAE, crossing the initial target of distributing 3 million meals.
Through the 'Your Harees on Us' initiative, which provided an Emirati dish made of meat and wheat, 2,535,440 cooked meals were donated to people in need by hotels.
Over 720 volunteers were a part of the initiatives, which helped in reaching 5.1 million people, including 495,197 households and 2,628,413 workers.
His Excellency Dawoud Al Hajri, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the UAE Food Bank said, "The UAE Food Bank’s initiatives during the Holy Month of Ramadan were successful in managing food surplus, reducing food waste, and providing quality food to numerous beneficiaries both within and outside the UAE. We are pleased with the fact that the initiative outperformed its objectives and hit 170% of its target. These numbers highlight the Emirati society’s strong humanitarian and societal principles of generosity and giving, which the Bank aims to spread globally."
