Dubai Sets Up Free Food Fridges to Help the Poor and Needy
Dubai, known for its wealth and luxury, is showing another side of its character — compassion. In a heartwarming move to support those struggling with the rising cost of living, the city has launched a new initiative: free community food fridges placed across neighbourhoods to help the poor and low-income workers.
The project, which is being coordinated by local charities and community volunteers, allows residents and businesses to donate food items that anyone in need can take — no questions asked. These fridges, stocked daily with fresh meals, fruits, vegetables, and bottled water, have become a lifeline for thousands of workers, delivery riders, and families who find it difficult to make ends meet.
This initiative is inspired by the UAE’s long-standing commitment to humanitarian efforts and echoes the nation’s “Year of Giving” campaigns that promote generosity and solidarity. Residents are encouraged to contribute home-cooked meals, packaged goods, or even simple snacks — ensuring that nothing goes to waste and that no one goes hungry.
A spokesperson for the project said:
“Dubai is a city of abundance, but also one of compassion. These fridges remind us that sharing even a little can make a big difference in someone’s life.”
Local communities have embraced the idea wholeheartedly, with volunteers helping to maintain and restock the fridges daily. Many neighbourhoods, including Al Barsha, Deira, and Jumeirah, have already seen residents come together to ensure their local fridge is never empty.
The initiative also aligns with Dubai’s sustainability goals by reducing food waste while addressing food insecurity — a growing concern among migrant workers and low-income earners in the region.
As the city continues to grow in wealth and innovation, these humble fridges stand as a symbol of humanity — proving that generosity and kindness remain at the heart of Dubai’s success story.
