Doha: Doha Festival City has announced its partnership with Qatar Charity in a joint initiative dedicated to the holy month of Ramadan.
As part of the ongoing #Festival Cares initiative, Doha Festival City donated 1,000 boxes with essential Ramadan food supplies distributed to the workers throughout the Industrial Area and other locations, and the families with limited income, with support of Qatar Charity, as part of Qatar Charity’s ‘Ramadan of Hope’ drive.
Each box contained bottles of oil and concentrated juice beverage, pack of rice, lentils and sugar; a bag with box of dates and box of tea bags, all provided by Doha Festival City.
The distribution was held ahead of Ramadan to support the targeted workers and families to get ready for the Holy Month.
