When most people think about DoorDash, they think restaurant delivery. What fewer people know is that DoorDash has a nonprofit program — called Project Dash — that puts that same infrastructure to work for food banks and hunger-relief organizations.
Solo Faith Church in Concord, NC is one of those organizations.
What Project Dash Is and Why It Matters
DoorDash Project Dash, launched in 2018, allows qualifying nonprofits to use DoorDash’s driver network for last-mile food delivery. The program has now facilitated more than 125 million meals through 7 million deliveries to partner organizations across the U.S. and Canada.
The program directly addresses what researchers call the “last mile” problem in food access: the gap between where food is available and where food-insecure families are. According to U.S. Hunger research, 42.6% of individuals seeking food assistance cannot get to a food source because of transportation barriers.
Documented Impact
A DoorDash-commissioned Urban Institute report found that 97.8% of Project Dash clients reported saving money because of home food delivery — and over three-quarters faced chronic health conditions or mobility challenges that made physical pantry access impossible.
The same research found that 75% of anti-hunger nonprofits using Project Dash reported they could reach new populations they couldn’t serve before. That expansion of reach is exactly what Solo Faith is building in Cabarrus County.
How Solo Faith Uses Project Dash in Concord NC
Solo Faith Church operates as a master account holder in the Project Dash system. We partner with the community for food supply, coordinate with local facilities across Cabarrus County as distribution points, and use DoorDash drivers to complete the final delivery leg to registered households who cannot reach us on their own.
Our documented operational cost: $10 per household delivery. That’s the all-in cost of one household receiving food they couldn’t otherwise access.
