Following the theme of “Ramadan Kareem bel Kheir with Carrefour”, the brand has partnered with the Egyptian Food Bank, an NGO dedicated to fighting hunger across the country, where they delivered 2,100 Ramadan boxes to families in need across Egypt

Carrefour launched the initiative in partnership with the Egyptian Food Bank — on March 13th 2022, by bringing colleagues together to pack and prepare the Ramadan boxes for families

Carrefour has also extended its partnership with Egyptian Food Bank by introducing an additional activity for shoppers: “Kart El – Kher”, the generosity card, which customers can purchase across all Carrefour stores to help donate a hot meal to those in need during Iftar. To further ensure the safe delivery of the meals, the Food Bank has specialized a delivery program for Carrefour’s meal cards
