The RNAQ Foundation, the charity arm of RNAQ Holdings, has expanded its footprint with four new food banks in the Kumasi metropolis.
The initiative, led by President of RNAQ Holdings, Mr. Richard Nii Armah Quaye, was inaugurated at Bantama, Asafo, Anloga, and Alabar in the Kumasi metropolis.
The four new branches, which are strategically located to maximise reach in high-need areas, are expected to provide food for the less privileged in some communities in the Ashanti Region.
Among some of the distinguished people who lauded the efforts of the foundation for the support it has provided to various communities, especially people who could barely find food to eat, include Bantamahene, Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI.
Bantamahene, Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI, described the work of the foundation as phenomenal in the history of the country given its impacts on beneficiaries.
“We have heard of philanthropists around the world, but this is the first time in our nation’s history that a philanthropist has initiated such a deeply heartwarming and sustained gesture,” he stated.
For his part, Mr. Quaye extended heartfelt gratitude to the Kumasi metropolis for the support provided to the RNAQ Holdings over the years, while reinforcing the foundation’s long-term commitment to continuously provide food for the vulnerable in society.
He also assured residents that the food banks opened in Kumasi as well as other food banks in some parts of the country would be operational throughout the week, as the foundation works to sustain its efforts.
This major expansion follows the initial nationwide launch of the RNAQ Foundation food bank initiative at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on August 1, 2025. The programme now boasts a robust national presence, including five branches in Accra, one in Cape Coast, and two in Tamale.
With the addition of the four Kumasi locations, the RNAQ Foundation remains dedicated to achieving its ambitious goal of establishing food bank branches in all sixteen regions of the country.
