BRI Distributes 279,000 Food Packages to Various Regions
PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BRI, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme ‘BRI Peduli’, has once again implemented the ‘Sharing Happiness Together with BRI’ activity. In this programme, BRI distributed food aid consisting of 279,000 packages to communities in various regions across Indonesia.
In addition, BRI provided assistance to 8,500 orphans in orphanages spread throughout Indonesia. Each food package contains rice, cooking oil, granulated sugar, and other basic necessities. The distribution of the food aid was carried out by representatives of BRI’s 18 Regional Offices across Indonesia, involving all employees of the BRI Group.
BRI Corporate Secretary Dhanny stated that the ‘Sharing Happiness Together with BRI’ programme is a social care initiative organised by BRI Peduli in collaboration with YBM BRILiaN during the holy month of Ramadan to strengthen social solidarity and provide tangible benefits to the community.
“We ensure that the aid reaches the community by involving all BRI employees in every work unit spread across Indonesia. We also hope that the food aid and assistance can help alleviate the burden on the community as well as residents and orphans living in orphanages,” said Dhanny in a written statement on Thursday (19/3/2026).
He added that this programme is also in line with the government’s Asta Cita, where the distribution of food aid aims to ensure the fulfilment of basic needs for the community and increase interfaith tolerance to achieve a just and prosperous society.
“BRI consistently carries out its social obligations, strengthens its role as one of the pillars of the national economy, and provides positive benefits to the environment and surrounding communities,” he concluded.
On a separate occasion, Agus Surahman, a representative of residents from Menteng Dalam Ward, Tebet Subdistrict, South Jakarta, said that the food aid from BRI Peduli helps alleviate economic burdens and encourages improved nutrition for the community in his area.
“We are very helped by this programme and we thank BRI for the care provided. This also strengthens the bonds and rapport between us residents and BRI, which is always close and helpful to us,” he added.
