Hunger Action Month ended this week, but the work doesn’t. People who volunteer and work for organizations like San Francisco-Marin Food Bank are leading the fight against hunger and help so many in their communities. At DoorDash, we’re happy to play a small part in carrying their work the last mile. Through our 300+ Project DASH partners, DoorDash has delivered over 150 million charitable meals across the United States and Canada. It’s a milestone we’re proud of, but it’s a reminder of how significant the need is. This fight can’t be won alone, and we’re ready to partner with anyone who will help us expand food access. It takes food banks, volunteers, Dashers, and neighbors showing up for each other long after September ends, and we’ll keep showing up alongside them. Ending hunger won’t happen overnight, but together, it can be done.

We’re building in India. This week, we inaugurated DoorDash’s first Talent Hub in India, in Hyderabad, an important milestone as we continue to invest in the teams and talent powering our global business. We were honored to mark the occasion alongside Sridhar Babu Duddilla, Minister for IT, E&C, Industries & Commerce and Legislative Affairs, Government of Telangana, and Sai Krishna 🇮🇳, IT Advisor to the Government of Telangana, alongside Ravi Inukonda, CFO at DoorDash, and Jenna Kohnke, Senior Director, Global Workforce Strategy & Talent Acquisition. Hyderabad is home to incredible talent, and we’re excited to grow our presence here. Over time, the Talent Hub has the potential to grow to more than 3,000 roles across teams that will help shape how DoorDash operates and grows globally, supporting better experiences for consumers, merchants, and Dashers across the geographies we serve. A huge thank you to the Government of Telangana and the Hyderabad community for the warm welcome. We’re just getting started. 🚀

Access to healthy groceries shouldn't depend on how far you can travel. Yet people who use SNAP/EBT on DoorDash are twice as likely to live in a food desert. Our third annual SNAP/EBT research report shows what changes when that barrier is removed. People are able to get the foods they need, eat healthier, and save time for what matters most. 4.5M+ consumers have added a SNAP/EBT card, and nearly 75,000 stores now accept it. This Hunger Action Month, we're breaking down what that access means for households nationwide. Check out the full report: https://lnkd.in/ec-SnVvb

These wings are cleared for takeoff. Learn more about DoorDash Air, our in-house drone delivery program, later this week!
