Yaqoob Al Balooshi, Fresh category trade department manager Union Coop., handed over the (AL AFHDAL) shopping cards and in-kind gifts to Abdullah Al Ustaz, Assistant General Manager of Beit Al Khair.

“The Union Coop. is so keen on showing compassion to all defenseless segments of the society, and efficiently chipping in all social, humanitarian and voluntary works,” Al Balooshi said.

“We have shown support so many philanthropic initiatives over the last few years,” he added. “We will follow the same track advised by the UAE prudent leadership to promote goodness, integrity and fraternity nationwide.”

Paying tributes to the touchy move, Al Ustaz said the Union Coop’s white hands speak volume. “Poor families can use the (AL AFHDAL) shopping cards in buying their food needs during the holy month of Ramadan.”
