Doing distribution events of any sort has always been a fulfilling activity for us here at Unit One. From our food supplies distribution runs in 2020 to our iftaar distribution campaign last year - we've always pushed ourselves to excel beyond expectations and leave a positive impact on as many people as possible.
At such, we were delighted to get the opportunity to run an iftaar distribution campaign this year too!
Last year, we were fortunate enough to distribute around 120 packets of iftaar. This year, we challenged ourselves to 500 packets. And even though that seemed like a daunting number, we wanted to take the challenge on. And up until 3 days before the donation collection deadline, even 100 packets seemed like a distant dream.
However, all of your wonderful support, networking, fundraising and ofcourse donations pulled through big time in the last three days and we ended up raising à§³29,220 in the end! With the money, we were able to distribute 300 packets of vegetable egg khichuri as iftaar to underprivileged people and pedestrians across Dhanmondi, Rayerbazaar, Mitali Road, Mohammadpur and Adabor on 15 April, 2023.
In total, à§³22,420 was used in the distribution run since the remaining à§³6800 was donated after deadline was over. We will use this remaining amount in June in our next distribution campaign and can hopefully ensure a much bigger and better run then!
As always, we barely took any photos of personally distributing the food, but here below are a few snaps from the day.
Lastly, we are extremely grateful to all our beloved volunteers who worked super hard that day in record heat - packaging and distributing the iftaar with the highest level of dedication and care. You make us who we are 🧡
