What is Ride United: Last Mile Delivery?

United Way’s Ride United: Last Mile Delivery initiative, in partnership with DoorDash, delivers essential items such as food and other essential items to the doorsteps of area families in need.

We partner with local food pantries and nonprofits to deliver necessities at no cost to neighbors who are not able to access items on their own – including new mothers, people with disabilities, and homebound seniors.

Ensuring all neighbors have access to necessities

Ride United Last Mile Delivery was designed to fill the critical “last-mile” gap in accessing nutritious food and essential resources for clients who lack transportation. In partnership with DoorDash, Dashers make deliveries directly to households, meeting the needs of all family members. Dashers are compensated for their work.

This program is brand new as of July 2024! It is made possible thanks to DoorDash and a grant from United Way Worldwide.
