1. Fill a Ramadan Sharing Fridge with food and water

Even if you don’t have a car – Careem announced it will offer free pick up to residents wanting to donate foods and water for the Ramadan Sharing Fridges. 

The fridges constantly need replenishment, so why not stock them up with goods – for those less fortunate. 

2. Foster a cat 

Summer is a tolling time for animals, and animal groups. 

People leave for the summer months, and the number of foster homes drops – meaning there are hundreds of animals needing temporary foster homes. Why not give one of these little darlings a home for a few months? 

3. Donate an outfit with OMO Arabia

OMO is popping up around malls in the UAE and accepting clothing donations for those in need. Clean out your closet, and head to Mall of Emirates, Mirdif or Deira City Centre, Sharjah City Centre and The Dubai Mall ice rink with your unwanted clothing and donate it now!

4. Contribute food to the UAE Food Bank initiative 

The UAE Food Bank initiative is distributing excess food to needy families around the UAE at mosques. If you want to help, all you have to do is call 800 900. 

So go on! Do something nice this weekend
