This is the type of positive community action that’s amazing to see.<\/p>\n

Residents are coming together to tackle two big problems in the region… and the reaction is exactly what you would expect.<\/p>\n

Chef J Gourmet, an Emirati chef, Springbok Butchery, Catering UAE, the Fairmont Hotel Abu Dhabi team, and Animal Action UAE are turning Friday leftover brunch food (and there’s a lot of it) into food for animals.<\/p>\n

This was the first Friday the initiative was put to the test and judging from the success (and over-whelming positive reaction from residents) this could really take off.<\/p>\n

The food is processed and minced, and this week they tested to see if the animals would like it<\/h3>\n

Post-brunch leftovers were gathered by the Fairmont team, packed up and minced in the Springbok kitchen, before it was transported to Cloud 9 Pet Hotel and Care.<\/p>\n

The result? The dogs lapped it up!<\/p>\n

According to a report from Chef J Gourmet<\/a>, this service was a success and thanks to Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, they will continue doing this good work for the community.<\/p>\n
