Dubai : Apparel Group’s mission is to help improve the quality of life of communities that have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and are experiencing extreme financial difficulties. Apparel Group partnered with Nefsy and Tarahum Charity Foundation during the festive season to distribute meals from Tim Hortons to 150 less fortunate children in Dubai. The children initially visited Kidzania in The Dubai Mall before passing by Tim Hortons Café to enjoy a complimentary lunch. Tim Hortons café provided a meal to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry.
Furthermore, Apparel Group is a member of the UN Global Compact and the organization is actively working towards implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This initiative targets Goal 2: Zero Hunger and seeks to ensure the less fortunate and vulnerable have access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. This initiative aims to encourage relationships with foundations that share a passion for serving children and promote long-term sustainable change to children and their caregivers in the region. Apparel Group is committed to ending hunger in our local communities.
Earlier this year, during the Holy month of Ramadan, Apparel Group organized a Ramadan food donation campaign across all GCC offices. 407 employees generously donated 5,744 Kgs of raw food items. These items were distributed to 180 laborers and 118 needy families through various NGO partnerships. Apparel Group also donated 26,075 meals through the 100 Million Meals programme.
