“This partnership with the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development aims to enhance volunteer work by providing nutritional and logistical support to volunteers, and by fostering a motivating environment that helps raise the quality of services provided to pilgrims. This is in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals of empowering the non-profit sector and increasing the number of volunteers.”
Under the agreement, Almarai will provide food that meets both local and international food safety standards at designated locations in the holy sites, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and the empowerment of non-profit organizations in accordance with global best practices.
The National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development expressed its appreciation for Almarai’s initiative, highlighting the importance of collaboration between the private and non-profit sectors in supporting national initiatives—particularly during the Hajj season, which is one of the largest human gatherings in the world and requires significant organizational and service efforts.
