DoorDash is launching an “Emergency Food Response” as federal food aid is set to run out starting Saturday.
The food delivery service announced Monday that it will be partnering with grocers to waive delivery and service fees for an estimated 300,000 orders for SNAP recipients. DoorDash will also be delivering 1 million free meals through food banks and donating fresh food, shelf-stable items and household essentials.
The move comes as the Department of Agriculture said no Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding will be available on Nov. 1, due to the government shutdown.
SNAP provides food benefits to roughly 42 million people per month.
“We know this is a stopgap, not a solution. But doing nothing simply isn’t an option,” said Max Rettig, DoorDash’s vice president and global head of public policy.
DoorDash called on Congress, companies, organizations and individuals to “do their part.”
“Our response alone cannot match the scale of this crisis. The federal government’s role is irreplaceable,” the statement read. “This is an opportunity for Congress to come together and find a way to continue to fund this essential program that keeps Americans from going hungry.”
