DoorDash’s mission is to grow and empower the communities we serve. We know that delivering on that mission and working with organizations that support the disadvantaged is more important now than ever before. That’s why, in the past year, DoorDash Canada partnered with sixteen organizations from coast to coast that support those in need with DoorDash Community Credit grants. Through these Community Credits, we can provide greater access to food, essentials, and more, which allows these organizations to devote more time to doing what really matters: supporting their people. We are honoured to say that in 2022, we delivered on that goal.

Supporting Local Communities Across Canada in 2022
