The UAE Food Bank has announced the distribution of more than 120,000 Iftar meals with the help of many sponsors and supporters.

"Our leadership has always underscored the importance of consolidating the values of giving and charity through various initiatives and activities. The UAE Food Bank is a true embodiment of these values in our society that acts through strengthening the principles of solidarity and unity among all segments of the society," said Dawoud Al Hajri, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of UAE Food Bank.

Al Hajri noted the opening of five operational sites for UAE Food Bank recently in three locations in the Emirate of Dubai, one in Ras Al Khaimah and another in Ajman, in order to contribute to the promotion of charity work by using all efforts and energies to establish the concepts of participation and generosity in the human dimension.

There are 80 UAE Food Bank fridges placed in different parts of Dubai for people to donate food during this Holy Month and year around.
