    How Thrifty Car Rental and The Giving Family Are Driving Change This Ramadan

    Dubai(News Desk):: As the UAE embraces the Year of Community, one car rental company is shifting gears from business as usual to a mission of giving. This Ramadan, Thrifty Car Rental partnered with The Giving Family, a grassroots initiative dedicated to supporting low-income communities, to provide meals and essential donations to those in need.
    On March 10, volunteers from Thrifty Car Rental stepped away from their desks and into Al Quoz, where they distributed 1,500 meals at The Giving Family’s distribution hub. But the effort doesn’t stop there. In a bid to extend the spirit of giving beyond Ramadan, Thrifty Car Rental also launched a nationwide donation drive, and urged all employees to contribute used clothes, books, and toys at designated drop-off points across its UAE branches.

    “Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity, and community spirit,” said Rahul Singh,Managing Director (Thrifty & Dollar Car Rental) in the UAE. “For us, this initiative is about making a real impact beyond business. We’re honored to support those in need and to encourage a culture of collective giving, both within our organization and across the wider community.”

    The Giving Family, known for its humanitarian efforts, has been at the forefront of meal distribution drives and donation campaigns across the UAE. With the added support of a corporate partner like Thrifty Car Rental, the initiative is expected to reach even more families this year.
    Highlighting the power of community, Sabrina Rabhi from The Giving Family said, “The number of people who have gotten involved from such diverse backgrounds, the growth of awareness, endorsements from government bodies, and tie-ups with our corporate partners have all served to demonstrate the compassion and kindness of the wider
    community.”
    Beyond financial contributions, Thrifty Car Rental involvement is deeply personal. The company’s HR team spearheaded an internal collection drive, and employees have volunteered to help with meal-packing and distribution, reinforcing the values of teamwork and social responsibility. For Thrifty Car Rental, this initiative is an act of charity and part of a broader commitment to corporate social responsibility.

    As Ramadan unfolds, both organizations are proving that meaningful change doesn’t require grand gestures—sometimes, it’s as simple as sharing a meal or passing on a book to someone in need.
