Initiative delivered in partnership with Majid Al Futtaim and Majra

The UAE Food Bank has distributed 5,000 meals among workers from across Dubai in a single-day scaled outreach drive, reinforcing the UAE’s commitment to social cohesion, food security, and inclusive community engagement.

The drive was organized in collaboration with Majid Al Futtaim, an Emirati-owned, diversified lifestyle conglomerate with operations across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and Majra, the UAE Federal Government entity dedicated to supporting the Private Sector in amplifying their impact in the space of CSR, ESG and sustainability.

The UAE Food Bank plays a central role in advancing the Nation’s food security objectives and promoting a culture of responsible consumption and humanitarian solidarity. The expansion from 3,000 to 5,000 beneficiaries this year highlights the growing impact of coordinated cross-sector collaboration.

“Through partnerships with leading entities such as Majid Al Futtaim and Majra, we continue to expand our capacity to deliver sustainable, community-centred solutions that align humanitarian outreach with ESG principles and long-term national development goals,” commented Manal Obaid bin Yaroof, Head of the Executive Team, UAE Food Bank.
