18 US mayors partner with DoorDash to increase food access

Food delivery service DoorDash has announced a partnership with 18 US mayors to reduce food insecurity.

DoorDash will provide US$1 million in Community Credits gift cards, proprietary data on local food access needs, direct funding for in-kind delivery of charitable food, and logistics via Project DASH.

Project DASH, launched in 2018, enables government and non-profit partners to organise pick-up and deliveries using DoorDash’s technology.
