Ministry of Transport Launches Sixth Annual Ramadan Food Distribution Campaign at Metro Stations

The Ministry of Transport has launched a community initiative at several main subway stations for the sixth consecutive year, coinciding with the start of the blessed month of Ramadan. This effort is part of the ministry’s broader commitment to serving the public through acts of mercy and outreach. The campaign was organized under the guidance of the senior engineer’s team and with instructions from General Dr. Tariq Juilli, head of the National Subway Authority, and the prodigal engineer, an executive member of the subway company.

The General Department of Information, Public Relations, and Citizen Service of the Egyptian Metro Management and Operation Company coordinated the initiative, focusing on the most crowded subway stations. These include the College of Agriculture, Martyrs, Al-Badwath, Anwar al-Sadat, and Jamal Abdel Nasser stations on lines one and two. The campaign is conducted in partnership with the Egyptian Food Bank, aiming to provide daily support to passengers during the holy month.

Every day, snacks are distributed to passengers under the supervision of Brigadier General Husam al-Sisi, Head of the Central Department of Finance and Administration, Ministry of Transport. The initiative is also coordinated with the majorist, an executive member of the Egyptian metro management and operation company. The snacks provided include a bottle of water, juice, cookies, or minicruso, designed to offer a light breakfast for those fasting during Ramadan.

The campaign’s goal is to distribute 150,000 snacks throughout the holy month, with a daily target of 5,000 snacks. This initiative reflects a commitment to caring for the community, especially during a time of spiritual and physical challenge. The distribution takes place at the stations and within the trains, ensuring that passengers receive support at key moments of the day.

This effort aligns with the biblical principle of showing mercy to those in need, as seen in Matthew 25:35, where Jesus says, “I was hungry and you gave me food.” The campaign embodies the spirit of neighbor-love and practical service, emphasizing the importance of caring for others in tangible ways. Through such actions, the ministry continues to demonstrate its dedication to the well-being of the community.
