The Causes
The Local Partner
The Extra Mile helps participants of the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay contribute to their city in a bigger, better way. We are delighted to be working with UAE Food Bank as The Extra Mile Partner in 2022.
The UAE Food Bank is a non-profit organization, working under the umbrella of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives. Its’ main target is to end hunger by fulfilling goal # 2 Zero Hunger under the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Not only UAE Food Bank had succeeded in feeding the needy people in the region, but also globally, in some countries like Lebanon, Sudan, Senegal and Philippines. Additionally, the UAE Food Bank tackled food waste reduction in the UAE by distributing excess food to those in need while eliminating food waste by collaborating with local authorities, as well as international charities, to create a comprehensive ecosystem to efficiently store, package and distribute excess food from hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and food trading companies.
