Every Thursday in Al Quoz, a simple act of kindness repeats itself, a tradition that brings warmth and relief to hundreds of workers who dedicate their lives to building Dubai. On October 16, the Anosh Foundation once again continued its weekly food distribution drive, spreading compassion and care across the labor community.
Inspired by the vision of Anosh Ahmed, this initiative has grown into a regular outreach effort that ensures no worker in Al Quoz is left behind. Each week, volunteers gather at midday, serving fresh biryani, fruit, laban, dates, and bottled water, a thoughtfully prepared meal designed to provide both nourishment and comfort.
The team visited multiple areas throughout Al Quoz, handing out meals with smiles and gratitude. “When you hand someone a meal made with care, it reminds them they’re valued,” said one volunteer. “That connection is what keeps us coming back every week.”
Honoring Values of Empathy and Humanity
What began as a single outreach campaign has now become a weekly tradition of giving, carried out in memory of Anosh Ahmed’s late father and guided by his enduring principles of empathy, consistency, and service. For ten consecutive weeks and counting, the Anosh Foundation has ensured that hundreds of workers in Al Quoz receive a hearty lunch, and, more importantly, a reminder that they are seen and appreciated.
These efforts reflect a deep understanding of community, one where kindness is continuous, not occasional. The foundation’s presence in Al Quoz has become a weekly symbol of hope and unity.
Serving with Compassion and Consistency
For Anosh Ahmed, these food drives are more than just a humanitarian gesture, they are a way of building stronger human connections.
“Kindness doesn’t need to be grand to be meaningful,” he said. “Even a simple meal can bring comfort, connection, and dignity. The goal is to keep showing up, week after week, because that’s how real impact happens.”
His words echo the very heart of the Anosh Foundation’s mission, to create lasting change through compassion, service, and commitment.
A Global Mission Rooted in Local Action
Beyond Dubai, the Anosh Foundation continues to expand its humanitarian efforts across Pakistan, the UAE, and the United States, focusing on healthcare, education, and food security. Yet, it is these weekly food distributions in Al Quoz that perfectly capture Anosh Ahmed’s belief that compassion, when practiced consistently, can transform lives.
Each Thursday’s event reaffirms that small, steady acts of care can spark hope, uplift spirits, and strengthen communities.
Building a Legacy of Compassion
As the sun sets over another Thursday in Al Quoz, the foundation’s volunteers wrap up their work — hearts full, hands empty, and smiles all around. What remains is a legacy of care that continues to grow, one meal, one smile, and one act of kindness at a time.
Through the leadership of Anosh Ahmed, the Anosh Foundation stands as a living example of how consistency and compassion can create lasting change in the world.
