Supporting Communities with 20,000 Fresh Meal Boxes

Bel Group and the Saudi Food Bank (Et’aam) are strengthening their partnership to support families during Ramadan. In the second year of their collaboration, they will distribute 20,000 fresh meal boxes across Jeddah through Kiri®, one of Saudi Arabia’s most beloved brands. This initiative highlights the values of generosity, togetherness, and community spirit during the holy month.

Commitment to Giving Back

Bel Group leaders, including Chairman Antoine Fiévet, CEO Cécile Béliot, and regional managers Garo Matossian and Rabih Tay Bou Dargham, joined Saudi Food Bank’s Assistant CEO, Mohammed Jamal Al-Osaimi, to launch the program. Their goal is to provide nutritious meals to those in need while reinforcing their shared mission of food security and social responsibility.

A Thoughtful Selection of Fresh Meals

Each meal box is carefully packed daily to maintain freshness and quality. The boxes include Kiri® cheese, bread, fresh juice, and fruits—ingredients chosen to reflect the essence of Ramadan. This initiative is more than just food distribution; it’s about fostering kindness and ensuring no one goes without a nourishing meal.
