DoorDash Is Making An Impact In Real Times Of Need
The flagship social impact project, which launched in 2018, leverages the platform’s technology to broaden food access. In 2020, when communities were adhering to shelter-in-place orders, DoorDash expanded Project DASH to deliver food and supplies to vulnerable communities. The company partnered with local governments, nonprofits and organizations that support seniors, children and those experiencing food insecurity to deliver food. DoorDash also provided dashers with personal protective equipment, telehealth access and discounted virtual urgent care visits. In the first three weeks of the expanded program, dashers delivered more than 150,000 meals. By the end of 2020, 6.5 million meals were delivered through Project DASH.
