The CMA CGM Foundation and the Egyptian Food Bank have established a long-term partnership to support communities in need in Egypt. The collaboration kicks off with a large-scale initiative, distributing 1,000 food parcels to support approximately 5,000 individuals, ensuring vulnerable families have access to essential meals.
On March 5, 30 CMA CGM Group staff members, led by the CEO of CMA CGM Egypt, Tariq Zaghloul, teamed up with Egyptian Food Bank volunteers to pack food parcels, which were distributed March 6. Their joint efforts focus on reaching the most underserved communities, particularly in rural areas, to provide critical nourishment to those in need.
“We are proud to partner with the Egyptian Food Bank to help tackle food insecurity. Our shared commitment to supporting vulnerable communities is a powerful reflection of the CMA CGM Foundation’s values of solidarity and humanitarian aid,” said Zaghloul.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to our staff for their dedication and to the Egyptian Food Bank for their expertise. This is just the beginning of our long-term commitment to help more families in need.”
Mohsen Sarhan, CEO of Egyptian Food Bank, remarked: “Our partnership with the CMA CGM Foundation represents a powerful step forward in our mission to combat food insecurity and ensure that no family is left behind. This initiative comes at a crucial time, and through this collaboration, we are able to provide essential food supplies to thousands of individuals who need them most.”
He added, “The impact of this collaboration will foster sustained food security within vulnerable communities across Egypt, and demonstrating our shared, unwavering commitment to alleviating the suffering from hunger.”
Throughout the year, the CMA CGM Foundation and the Egyptian Food Bank will organize additional solidarity initiatives to ensure a lasting and sustainable impact.
This marks the second consecutive year that the CMA CGM Foundation has distributed food packages in Egypt, following last year’s efforts in Alexandria and Cairo, where staff members mobilized to distribute over 1,000 packages.
