The Naemati team, along with youth volunteers, collect and store the items, using ALP’s donated racking system or in the freezers and fridges. The storage facility has the capacity to store tons of various products on any given day, and distribute them to hundreds of families daily. Naemati have a distribution list that is comprised of over 14,000 less fortunate families in Kuwait that will benefit from these donated items.
