DoorDash is accepting applications from non-profits organisations across Australia for its Community Credits program, which has distributed over $215,000 worth of credits to 22 groups since first launching in Australia in 2021.
Through its Community Credits program, DoorDash has helped non-profit organisations feed thousands of individuals in need of food assistance.
The Community Credits program was born out of the need to create greater access and equity for communities who struggle to access meals, essentials, and other items. Through the program, DoorDash provides gift cards to non-profits that work to serve their communities.
Sydney-based organisations, The Rev Bill Crews Foundation and Anglicare Sydney are two of the 22 non-profits that have benefitted from the program.
The Rev Bill Crews Foundation has received $17,500 worth of credits, which has been used to cover regular meal deliveries and groceries to over 139 individuals, including single parents, asylum seekers, refugees, and those escaping domestic violence.
Anglicare Sydney has received $7,500 worth of credits to support families unable to afford food and utility bills and those at risk of eviction, benefiting over 300 people.
Organisations like OzHarvest were also recently awarded Community Credits and are looking to use them to help alleviate the increase in demand for food relief.
DoorDash Australia general manager, Puji Fernando said, “We know that having access to meals can make a difference for nonprofits that are working to address food insecurity. We’re proud to provide Australian non-profits with the resources they need to cater to more of their members needing food assistance.”
