Dubai: talabat, the region’s leading food and grocery delivery app, has announced that 100 per cent of all profit made between 12pm-4pm tomorrow, August 12, will be donated to Lebanon through the #LunchforLebanon initiative.
Tomaso Rodriguez, CEO of talabat, said talabat employees feel a strong sense of solidarity with the people of Lebanon. “I think we have all been affected by the tragedy which unfolded in Beirut, and the outpouring of support from the region has been testament to that. Many of our employees, customers, and partners are Lebanese and are heavily affected by the situation in Beirut, and our hearts and thoughts are with them and their families. We - not only as talabat, but as individuals - want to make sure that we’re doing everything we can to help,” said Rodriguez.
“This means using our platform as a vehicle for support. Through #LunchforLebanon, every order placed between 12pm - 4pm tomorrow across the region will contribute to Lebanon. We will be donating 100 per cent of our profits to the recovery efforts in Lebanon,” he added.
“We are calling on other aggregators in our sector to join us, and make sure that #LunchforLebanon is an initiative right across our industry. Beirut needs us, and this is a time where we need to combine our forces to help our beloved Lebanese people recover from this tragedy.”
