Free Ice Cream & Drinks to Be Handed Out to Dubai Workers This Summer
As temperatures rise, over 500 fridges across Dubai will be restocked daily with ice creams and juices for blue-collar workers, thanks to the Al Freej Fridge campaign.
Dubai’s Al Freej Fridge initiative is expanding its summer campaign to distribute 2 million free ice creams and juices to blue-collar workers across the city. The community-led project, which began in 2022, will now cover over 500 locations, doubling its previous scale.
The initiative is supported by more than 8,000 volunteers and aims to provide daily relief during peak summer temperatures. Each fridge is restocked twice a day and supplies essential refreshments, including milk, water, juice, and various ice cream products.
Originally launched by Emirati founder Hamad Al Amiri, the project has grown rapidly through private donations, and corporate support. It also encourages neighbourhood participation, with residents and businesses volunteering fridges and stocking them throughout the summer.
