Recognizing this food access challenge, United Way launched a newpartnership with DoorDash, the nation’s largest food delivery company, to create the Ride United Last Mile Delivery program and safely deliver food and critical household goods to high-risk and food insecure homes. Across 231 communities, United Way and 211, a vital service connecting people to essential health and human services, work with local food pantry partners to identify people in need of essential deliveries. Through a secure online system, United Way submits weekly pick up and drop off information to DoorDash. DoorDash drivers then pick up packages from food pantries and make contact free deliveries to clients.
