With its mantra of ‘think globally, act locally’\u00a0Steigenberger Hotel Business Bay has already started planning initiatives that will benefit the neighbouring community\u00a0in Business Bay over\u00a0Ramadan. After last year’s heartening outcome, the hotel is gearing up to host the Sharing Fridge concept\u00a0once\u00a0again.<\/p>\n

Sharing food and drinks during the Holy Month is nothing new,\u00a0however\u00a0the Ramadan Sharing Fridge initiative has\u00a0paved the way for\u00a0this\u00a0initiative to gain momentum, acceptance, and to become mainstream. With a desire to\u00a0engage in meaningful community service, Steigenberger Hotel Business Bay will be setting up and replenishing refrigerators just outside the property. Stocked with drinking water, juices,\u00a0laban, soda, milk as well as fresh fruits and\u00a0a variety of\u00a0other snacks, these fridges offer an opportunity for\u00a0those in need\u00a0to pick up a refreshing drink or healthy snack\u00a0ready for\u00a0when they break their fast at the end of a long\u00a0and hot\u00a0day.<\/p>\n

Steigenberger is taking it a step further by encouraging neighbouring hotels and residents to be a part of this initiative, by replicating the concept at their\u00a0hotel. Inviting other hoteliers to the Sharing Fridges Challenge, General Manager Stephen Meredith envisions\u00a0a\u00a0stronger sense of community not just with residents but also hotel guests, embracing completely, the spirit of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

“The idea is to come together as a community, to join hands and make\u00a0tasty safe\u00a0food and drinks\u00a0available to anybody who needs it. The outcome of last year’s\u00a0Ramadan\u00a0Sharing Fridge was nothing short of heart warming, and\u00a0this year we want to widen our circle and rope our neighbours in too. We have shared a video on Facebook inviting our colleagues from hotels in our vicinity to join in,\u00a0and\u00a0believe that together we can\u00a0make a big difference,” states Stephen Meredith, General Manager.<\/p>\n

The Sharing Fridges Challenge is open to anyone who is looking for a way to help the community.<\/p>\n
