Dubai: Lemon Butter, a fund management advisory, holding and guidance firm for the food and beverage industry, has announced that it has partnered with Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), to support the education of underprivileged children and youth around the world.

Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) remains core to Lemon Butter’s mission to bring the UAE community together for a good cause. With innovative F&B concepts under its portfolio, Lemon Butter will use two of its restaurants in the UAE (The Crossing and Streetery Food Hall) to drive this initiative for the whole year.

For every bowl of white rice purchased by a diner at The Crossing, the proceeds will be donated to Dubai Cares. While at Streetery Food Hall, diners will have the option to donate any amount to the UAE-based global philanthropic organization.

Abdulla Ahmed Alshehhi, Chief Operating Officer at Dubai Cares, said: “A strong educational foundation can unlock a world of life-changing opportunities for underprivileged children and youth around the world. Our collaboration with Lemon Butter serves as a remarkable platform for diners in the UAE to empower young minds who do not have access to education due to circumstances beyond their control. We thank Lemon Butter for their partnership and look forward to seeing the UAE community’s support turn into meaningful opportunities for children and youth.”

Chef Ankur Chakraborty, Managing Partner, The Crossing, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Dubai Cares again and use this initiative to unite the community towards a great cause that can possibly support millions of children. We want UAE residents to be part of this initiative and together, we can cultivate a better world.”
