In response to the federal government shutdown and the impact to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, DoorDash has launched an Emergency Food Response, that includes free delivery for Project DASH food bank and food pantry partners nationwide. In addition, they’re partnering with grocers to waive delivery and service fees for an estimated 300,000 orders for SNAP recipients.
“No one should go hungry in America – period,” said Max Rettig, Vice President and Global Head of Public Policy at DoorDash. “Millions of families are worried right now about how they’ll put food on the table. Fighting hunger is core to our mission at DoorDash, and we’re stepping up alongside leading grocers and retailers to help bridge the gap. We know this is a stopgap, not a solution. But doing nothing simply isn’t an option.”
DoorDash’s Emergency Food Response plan includes:
-
Delivering 1 million meals for 300+ Project DASH partners nationwide. DoorDash is waiving merchant fees for all 300+ Project DASH partner food banks, food pantries, and community organizations nationwide throughout the month of November.
-
Waiving delivery and service fees for 300,000 grocery orders for SNAP recipients. DoorDash and grocery partners are covering the cost of delivery and service fees for an estimated 300,000 orders for SNAP recipients in November, helping families stretch budgets during any SNAP freeze. Customers who have linked a SNAP/EBT card to their profile can shop on DoorDash at Sprouts, Dollar General, Schnucks, Food Lion, Giant Foods, The GIANT Company, Hannaford, Stop & Shop, Hy-Vee, Giant Eagle, and Wegmans and have their delivery and service fees waived on one order.*
