Under the visionary leadership of Her Highness Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, the UAE Food Bank has unveiled an extraordinary initiative—United in Giving—with a mission to distribute an incredible seven million meals this Ramadan. More than just a charitable effort, this campaign embodies the values of generosity, sustainability, and social responsibility, reinforcing the UAE’s commitment to combating food waste while ensuring those in need receive essential nourishment during the holy month.
Ramadan is a time of reflection, togetherness, and giving, and United in Giving captures this spirit perfectly. The initiative is not just about providing meals; it’s a movement aimed at promoting sustainable food management, reducing waste, and encouraging active community participation. With millions of people worldwide facing food insecurity, the UAE Food Bank is stepping up to make a tangible impact by efficiently utilizing surplus food from hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, and even individuals willing to contribute to the cause.
By engaging various sectors, including businesses, organizations, and the general public, the initiative turns surplus food into an invaluable resource rather than waste. Volunteers, food suppliers, and logistics teams work tirelessly to ensure meals reach those in need across the UAE and beyond. Through organized collection points and a highly coordinated distribution network, United in Giving ensures that excess food is redirected to the right places at the right time.
Beyond feeding the hungry, the initiative serves as a wake-up call about the importance of responsible consumption. It educates communities on reducing food waste, fostering an environment where sustainability and social good go hand in hand. As the UAE continues to pioneer philanthropic efforts, this campaign strengthens the country’s position as a leader in humanitarian initiatives.
This Ramadan, United in Giving invites everyone to be part of the change—because when a community unites for a cause, the impact is not just measured in meals but in the hope and kindness it spreads.
