The Authority of Social Contribution-Ma'an has commenced the first deliveries of its food support scheme, providing more than 512 food baskets to Abu Dhabi citizens and residents whose income has been affected by the current coronavirus pandemic.
In partnership with Abu Dhabi Social Support Authority, the food basket deliveries will run for three months, providing three different-sized baskets of supplies for individuals, couples or families in the emirate who have been most affected, depending on the number of family members, said a Ma'an press release issued on Tuesday.
Volunteers worked across the weekend to stock the baskets of high-quality, nutritious and healthy essential food and kitchen cupboard items, including rice, pasta, dates, beans, tea, jam and noodles. For those with young children, baby supplies were also provided.
The volunteers are Emiratis and expatriates from Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Asia, North American, Europe and Africa.
Deliveries were made to hundreds of beneficiaries of the programme on May 1, with the work continuing for the next three months at three supermarkets across the emirate: Lulu Coop, Abu Dhabi Coop and Al Ain Coop.
The food support deliveries will help thousands of Abu Dhabi residents get access to essential nutrition, with the baskets being paid for by the contributions made to Ma'an's 'Together We Are Good' programme.
