The DoorDash partnership has been called a game changer—helping deliver to 5,500 households and 1,500 seniors since March.
CLEVELAND — Making sure no one goes hungry, by delivering directly to those in need. The Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s mission to serve continues to grow as grocery prices skyrocket nationwide.
Each meal has a meaning and a purpose at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. The non-profit served 350-thousand people across six counties just last year.“We know that inflation has really impacted individuals. Food is more expensive. Gas is more expensive," Jessica Morgan, Chief Programs Officer of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank said.The company that so many of us use to get fast food and snacks delivered to our homes—asked the non-profit and several other food banks across the U.S.
Morgan says they had been looking into delivery options for years, however, they weren’t sure how it would work logistically.“What we were able to do was identify the people who were in need via our Help Center. People could call us and say I’m in need of a delivery of food," Morgan said.The DoorDash driver pulls up to the Food Bank loading area.The driver then drops off the items 100 percent free of charge—making deliveries twice a month.
"Grateful I think is probably the word to sum it up. Individuals who are struggling have a lot of barriers they have to face," Morgan said.
