“The Food Bank Initiative is our way of contributing to the well-being of our host communities through regular food support,” Eretoru said. “Each month, with the support of our network of dedicated partners, we distribute food packs to individuals and families across the country.” The initiative, launched in April 2023, aims to combat hunger and improve livelihoods across Nigeria, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 2.
To date, the bank has distributed over 200,000 food packs through similar outreaches. The food distribution in Ihie town was executed in partnership with The Reach Nigeria Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on sustainable development. The Foundation’s CEO, Benedicta Ibiyemie Ayarete, said 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, His Royal Highness, 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. Other community leaders and beneficiaries also expressed gratitude and appreciation for the bank’s initiative.
One of the beneficiaries, Mike Okere, praised Fidelity Bank for the initiative and called on other financial institutions to emulate the bank’s approach to community engagement and impact. The Fidelity Food Bank continues to be a beacon of hope for underserved communities across Nigeria, reflecting the bank’s commitment to social responsibility and inclusive growth
