In the spirit of gratitude and togetherness, TikTok and Deliveroo hosted their first-ever community Iftar, bringing 200 dedicated Deliveroo riders together for an evening of appreciation. As the sun set over Dubai, these hardworking individuals—who keep the city moving year-round—were honored with a special meal, heartfelt recognition, and awards celebrating their exceptional service.
This initiative, rooted in TikTok’s commitment to real-world impact, went beyond digital connections to foster a deeper sense of community. “As a platform that prioritizes human connection, this initiative allowed us to express our gratitude in person,” said Emir Gelen, TikTok’s Director of Public Policy. The event not only provided a well-deserved break for riders but also reinforced TikTok and Deliveroo’s shared mission of uplifting those who make a difference.
Deliveroo’s Director of Operations, Yazan Aburaqabeh, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of recognizing riders’ efforts, especially during Ramadan. The evening concluded with awards for top-performing riders, a gesture that underscored their invaluable contributions.
This inaugural partnership marks just the beginning of future initiatives aimed at celebrating unsung heroes. By blending online engagement with real-world appreciation, TikTok and Deliveroo continue to champion community-driven efforts that make an impact both on and off the screen!
