Bel Group Kiri, in collaboration with the Saudi Food Bank, coordinated the assembly and distribution of 20,000 fresh meal kits in Jeddah during Ramadan 2026, marking the third consecutive year of the initiative. Each kit provided recipients with a balanced meal to break their fast.
The meal kits contained Kiri cheese, a cupcake, a pie, dates, bread, fresh juice, and water. The contents were selected to ensure balanced nourishment for iftar, according to the company.
Bel Group Kiri Partnership with Saudi Food Bank
The partnership between Bel Group, Kiri, and the Saudi Food Bank reflects a sustained commitment to supporting local communities in the Kingdom. The collaboration operates through strategic alliances with stakeholders active in food security and social welfare.
Third Year of the Ramadan Initiative
The initiative entered its third year in 2026, demonstrating continuity in the companies’ social responsibility programs. Jeddah served as the distribution location for all three editions of the program.
Moreover, the repeated execution of the program signals a structured, long-term approach to community engagement rather than a one-time effort. The Saudi Food Bank coordinated logistics on the ground.
Scale and Scope of Distribution
A total of 20,000 meal kits were assembled and distributed during the 2026 Ramadan period. The scale of the distribution positions this as one of the larger corporate social responsibility food drives conducted in Jeddah during the holy month.
Furthermore, the involvement of the Saudi Food Bank provided an established distribution network. The bank operates as a key intermediary connecting food donors with beneficiaries across Saudi Arabia.
Context and Community Impact
Bel Group is a multinational dairy and food company with a broad portfolio of cheese brands. Kiri is one of its flagship products and maintains a presence in the Saudi market. The company said the initiative reflects its dedication to driving positive change through strategic alliances.
The Saudi Food Bank works to reduce food waste and address food insecurity across the Kingdom. Consequently, partnerships with food manufacturers during Ramadan align directly with the bank’s core mission. The collaboration between Bel Group, Kiri, and the Saudi Food Bank is expected to continue in future years, based on the three-year track record established through 2026.
“This partnership reflects a sustained dedication to supporting local communities and driving positive change through strategic alliances with stakeholders such as Saudi Food Bank.”
