(MENAFN- Asdaf News)
Amazon Saudi Arabia today announced the launch of 'Iftar on Wheels,' a meal donation program that will support thousands of families at Ramadan community iftars, leveraging the company's delivery network across both central and remote locations within Saudi Arabia. Amazon will utilize its scale, logistics and technology to reach people in need across the entire country, from Makkah in the west to Dammam in the east, and from Abha to Al Qassim, to spread the joy of the season among local communities.
In partnership with the Saudi Food Bank (Eta'am), the 'Iftar on Wheels' program continues Amazon's tradition of helping underprivileged families through a combination of monetary donations, delivery services and volunteer support. Hundreds of Amazon employees across Saudi Arabia will engage in event organization, packing and delivering food and sharing in the iftar events.
Since its launch in the region four years ago, Amazon has delivered millions of meals to underserved communities in the Middle East and North Africa region, laddering up to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 to achieve 'Zero Hunger.'
'Iftar on Wheels' is a part of Amazon's global community engagement pillar, 'Right Now Needs,' that seeks to eliminate the impossible choices posed by poverty, homelessness, hunger, and natural disasters. This pillar is one of many in Amazon's community engagement program.
Mohammad Badokhon, Operations Supervisor at Amazon Saudi Arabia , said,“Ramadan is a very important time of the year for me, and I do my best to embody its values of generosity, sharing and giving. This year, the 'Iftar on Wheels' program gives me yet another opportunity to give back to my community.”
Amazon's operations network in Saudi Arabia is powered by a combination of innovative technology, optimised transportation services, dedicated employees, and partners. Amazon's transportation network consists of over twenty-five owned and third-party delivery stations across Saudi Arabia. The company continues to invest in scaling its network in the country and enhancing the customer experience, while focusing on the safety, well-being, and career advancement of the people across the operations network who make it all possible.
