This was done with the help of several authorities, establishments and companies that safely distributed food to people across the country.
The bank has also set up 104 fridges in different areas across the country to collect individual donations. A total of 1,550 tonnes of food donated to the fridges was distributed in Dubai alone.

Citizens and residents have the opportunity to contribute to the initiative and help reduce food waste by giving it to those in need.
Any food donated to the Food Bank is stored in specific containers that are set at a particular temperature to prevent contamination.
The food items received by the bank must have 'use by' and 'best before' dates.
The bank also carries out several community initiatives for children with disabilities and cancer patients.
