What جمعية خيرات لحفظ النعمة does

جمعية خيرات لحفظ النعمة (Khiyrat Association for Saving Food) is a Saudi Arabian non-profit charitable association headquartered in Riyadh, licensed by the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development under license No. 733. Founded in 2015, the organization is dedicated to reducing food waste and addressing food insecurity by collecting surplus edible food from hotels, restaurants, banquet halls, event venues, and public markets, then sorting it under food-safety standards and redistributing it to beneficiary families, widows, and orphans across the Riyadh region. Its operating model runs on donations from individuals, businesses, and government entities, supplemented by strategic endowment (Waqf) partnerships and a 270-volunteer base.

The association's portfolio is organized into five core programs: Feed Me (أطعمنوني) rescues surplus food from banquet halls and hotels; Mobile Feeding (الإطعام المتحرك) uses a fleet of 30+ refrigerated vehicles to distribute preserved food and fresh produce; Khiyrat's Fruits (ثمار خيرات) sources vegetables and fruits recovered from unauthorized vendors in coordination with the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and Riyadh Municipality; Let's Preserve It (لنحفظها) is an awareness and education program; and Ektefaa (اكتفاء) creates employment pathways for beneficiary families. Headcount stands at 45 employees, with a new purpose-built headquarters inaugurated in the Al-Aarid district on 4 November 2025 by Prince Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Governor of Riyadh.

Distribution is exclusively direct field operations — no commercial pricing or sales motion exists, as services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries under a humanitarian-mandate model. Royal patronage (Prince Faisal bin Bandar as Honorary President) and partnerships with Muhammad Al-Rajhi Endowments, Ahyaha Humanitarian Foundation, the King Khalid Foundation, and the Riyadh Chamber anchor both supply (surplus food) and demand (donor funding). Output scaled from approximately 5 million meals distributed in 2024 to more than 8 million meals in 2025, and the association has received the national Ihsan Award for Leading Associations in the Food Sector for two consecutive years (2025 and 2026), alongside the Azwah Riyadh Award for community participation.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America: Largest U.S. food bank network, operating a far broader portfolio across 200+ member food banks. Provides a useful structural benchmark for scale, governance, and donor diversification relevant to Khiyrat's growth ambitions.

Regional players

• City Harvest: New York-based food rescue nonprofit with a refrigerated fleet and event-driven collection program — the closest single-city operational analog to Khiyrat outside Saudi Arabia.
• UAE Food Bank: UAE-based food rescue initiative under Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives. Mirrors Khiyrat's surplus-collection-from-hotels-and-events model and offers a direct regional blueprint for cross-GCC scale.
• FareShare UK: UK's largest food redistribution charity, redirecting surplus food from hospitality and retail to community feeding programs. Useful benchmark for governance, logistics, and partner-network economics.
• Rescuing Leftover Cuisine: U.S. nonprofit founded in 2013 with a similar event- and hospitality-surplus rescue model. Comparable in scale and operational stage to Khiyrat's current footprint.
• Second Harvest (Canada): Canadian food rescue organization with a national surplus-food redistribution mandate. Comparable in mission and offers a model for multi-city scale and policy engagement beyond a single city.
• Qatar Food Bank: Qatar-based charitable food rescue under Qatar Foundation. Collects surplus food from hotels, events, and markets and redistributes to beneficiaries — same operating model, neighboring GCC geography.

Emerging players

• Olio: Tech-enabled food-sharing platform that connects households and businesses to redistribute surplus. A partial-overlap, emerging-technology adjacent to Khiyrat's operations, signaling where digital distribution might evolve.
• FoodCloud: Ireland-based tech-enabled food redistribution platform bridging surplus food from businesses to charities. Provides a model for digital matching layers Khiyrat could layer onto its fleet operations.

Direct peers

• Saudi Food Bank (Eta'am): Saudi Arabia's flagship food-rescue nonprofit. Operates the same surplus-food collection and redistribution model for beneficiary families, with overlapping donor pool, license framework under the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development, and a direct mandate overlap in Riyadh-area food security.
