Fidelity Bank Plc has donated food packs to over 1,500 individuals in Ihie Town, Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, through its Food Bank initiative.
The donation is part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility drive aimed at combating hunger and improving livelihoods across Nigeria.
The Regional Bank Head, Rivers/Bayelsa 1 & South Commercial, Fidelity Bank Plc, Ibisiki Eretoru, said the Food Bank Initiative is the bank’s way of contributing to the well-being of its host communities through regular food support.
Since its launch in April 2023, the initiative has distributed over 200,000 food packs to individuals and families across the country.
The food distribution in Ihie town was executed in partnership with The Reach Nigeria Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on sustainable development.
The community was selected due to its need for food support during the post-planting and pre-harvest period.
The paramount ruler of Ihie community, Eze Richard Amadi, commended the bank’s timely intervention, describing it as “a stitch in time” and a noteworthy effort that addresses the needs of the people.
The Chairman of the Ihie Community Development Committee, Stephen Asoh, and one of the beneficiaries, Mike Okere, also expressed appreciation to Fidelity Bank for the initiative.
The Fidelity Food Bank continues to be a beacon of hope for underserved communities across Nigeria, reflecting the bank’s unwavering commitment to social responsibility and inclusive growth.
