QC distributes 3,600 food packages to coronavirus-hit workers and families
The food aid was distributed in Ain Khalid, Al Muntazah and Al Wakrah in cooperation with Talabat
ATAR Charity ( C), in cooperation with Talabat, distributed 3,600 food parcels to workers and families affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Ain Khalid, Al Muntazah and Al Wakrah.
Mohammed Rashid Al Kaabi, assistant CEO for the Communication and Development Sector, thanked Talabat for supporting atar Charity’s humanitarian projects, emphasising the importance of building partnerships with relevant commercial institutions within the framework of their corporate social responsibility, especially in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Francisco De Sousa, managing director of Talabat, said the company is always proud to work hand-in-hand with
atar Charity, adding that the Talabat initiative is in line with the efforts of atar to encourage people stay home in this period of the coronavirus pandemic.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Talabat announced that R1 would be donated from every purchase of groceries through its app to atar Charity. The initiative will allow atar’s residents and citizens to make a difference in the lives of people who need it the most, but from a safe distance.
Last year, atar Charity signed a cooperation and partnership agreement with
Talabat to sell virtual meals through the latter’s website in support of the charitable projects and relief activities implemented by atar Charity.
Under the deal, the two parties have agreed to add
atar Charity to the list of restaurants available on Talabat’s website, as a virtual charitable restaurant that will sell three virtual meals at R20, R50 and R100, respectively. They have also agreed to transfer donations collected as part of the purchase of the virtual meals through Talabat’s website to atar Charity’s bank account at the beginning of each month.
