In a powerful display of generosity, the UAE Food Bank has launched the “United in Giving” initiative, aiming to distribute seven million meals to those in need throughout Ramadan 2025. This humanitarian effort is being carried out under the guidance of Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum, wife of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, as announced by the Dubai Government’s Media Office.
A Mission of Compassion and Community Support
Speaking on the initiative, Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Khalifa, Deputy Chairman of the UAE Food Bank’s Board of Trustees, emphasized that the campaign reflects the UAE’s deeply ingrained values of generosity and social responsibility.
“This initiative is a call for individuals, organizations, and philanthropists to come together in support of those less fortunate,” he stated.
Beyond providing meals, the campaign aligns with the UAE’s broader vision of establishing itself as a global leader in humanitarian work while promoting a culture of social responsibility and charitable giving.
Sustainability at the Heart of the Initiative
Beyond feeding millions, the United in Giving program also aims to address food waste by efficiently collecting, organizing, and distributing surplus food. By operating within a sustainable humanitarian framework, the initiative works to reduce waste, alleviate hunger, and strengthen social solidarity.
A Multi-Faceted Approach to Giving
The UAE Food Bank is driving the initiative through three key programs, including “Blessing Baskets”, which will facilitate the distribution of over 200,000 meals per day. Through donated food packages and redirected surplus meals, the program ensures that food reaches those who need it most.
As Ramadan approaches, the UAE Food Bank is calling on individuals and businesses to join the cause, reinforcing the nation’s long-standing commitment to compassion, generosity, and sustainability.
