Fidelity Bank Distributes Food Packs To FCT Residents

Fidelity Bank PLC’s management has generously distributed 500 food packs to women, widows, children, and the vulnerable in the Kasua Dere Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja.

During the distribution event, titled “Fidelity Bank CSR Donation,” the branch leader of the Fidelity Bank corporate social responsibility team, Babatunde Awotayo, highlighted that the Fidelity Food Packs initiative is a critical part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility efforts.

He said the initiative aims to mitigate the impact of hunger among vulnerable groups, an issue exacerbated by the current state of food security in the nation.

“I believe this initiative is a godsend, as you can see the number of people here to collect these food packs that we are distributing. This is a critical period in Nigeria, where many people cannot even feed themselves. This effort will make a significant impact on the lives of people in Gwagwalada,” Awotayo said.

Awotayo urged corporate organizations and well-to-do individuals to emulate what the bank is doing by distributing relief items to alleviate poverty and hunger in the land.

He noted that the bank consistently donates 10,000 food packs per month to various partners who identify communities in need across the country.

Also, the Food Ambassador for Fidelity Bank, Northern region, Hauwa Majida Abass expressed her joy at the success of the initiative, which commenced during the fasting period last year.

She said Fidelity Bank has consistently supported the cause by providing approximately 1500 food items annually.

She said the outreach program covered diverse regions, including Gombe, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Zaria, parts of Abuja, Zamfara, Kebbi, and more

She emphasized the ongoing commitment to conduct similar distributions every month, highlighting the persistent issue of hunger in the country.
