DoorDash

During the holiday season, the year-round work of food banks, food pantries, and other nonprofits is highlighted in communities across the United States. DoorDash is supporting our partners’ work to fight food insecurity by delivering groceries through Project DASH and providing Community Credits to help neighbors access what they need during this important time of year. This month, DoorDash employees packed food bags at the SF-Marin Food Bank and members of our executive team made deliveries via Project DASH.
