The UAE Food Bank and Majid Al Futtaim, which owns the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour in the UAE, have announced a strategic collaboration this Ramadan to provide over 3,300 meals daily, reinforcing their shared commitment to food security and community support.
This initiative is in line with Carrefour’s strategy to enable a reliable food security ecosystem and supports the UAE Food Bank’s 1,000 Meals programme.
Carrefour’s vital contribution will be delivered as an in-kind donation, supplying all meat and grocery items required for meal preparation. To ensure the seamless preparation of the Iftar meals, the UAE Food Bank and Carrefour will collaborate with Taya Art Production, a member of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for SME Development. This collaboration reinforces Carrefour’s enduring commitment to supporting the local economy by championing UAE-based SMEs and entrepreneurs.
Alongside meal preparation, Taya Art Production will produce a Ramadan television series showcasing the culinary process behind the meals, while also promoting innovative ways to repurpose surplus food and minimise waste—a key objective shared by both the UAE Food Bank and Carrefour.
Prepared meals will be distributed daily to workers in key locations across the UAE through the coordinated efforts of the UAE Food Bank and Carrefour’s ‘Care Vans’. These mobile units will also provide dates and water at traffic signals, bus stops, and metro stations across Dubai, ensuring that commuters can break their fast even while on the move. Carrefour’s volunteers will play an active role in this initiative, participating in the distribution efforts.
This collaboration further solidifies the longstanding partnership between Majid Al Futtaim and the UAE Food Bank, underscoring their dedication to supporting food security, reducing food waste, and making a tangible impact in communities across the UAE.
