With the countdown to Eid al-Fitr underway, SABB has come out with "Eid Gifts" for poor and needy families in Riyadh.
The Bank's humanitarian gesture, which is part of its social responsibility, involved distribution of gift packs consisting of food, consumer products, clothing and other items required during Eid festivities.
A group of SABB employees volunteered in this program, which was implemented within the framework of the Bank's firm commitment to serve the community.
Commenting on SABB's initiative, Mr. Ibrahim Abo-Mouti, Head of Corporate Communication, at SABB said: "The bank's objective is to stress its commitment to provide charitable activities, and reflect our keenness to promote social programmes, that serve the community. "Eid Gifts" is one of those projects that underline the Bank's commitment to social responsibility in helping needy families. He lauded the initiative by SABB's team, which comprised employees from different departments.
