Amazon has delivered more than 6 million meals with 7.4 million pounds of food since the start of COVID-19 to people in over 25 cities in the U.S. in need, with plans to deliver one million more meals by the end of the summer, it announced Monday.
Amazon has donated delivery services to food banks and community organizations since March through its Amazon Flex network and other delivery partners. Amazon delivery drivers are also delivering meals directly to clients’ homes.
“Amazon has a longstanding commitment to addressing right now needs – with over $100 million in donations to homelessness, hunger, and disaster relief,” said Alice Shobe, director of Amazon in the Community. “The pandemic intensified the need for hunger relief efforts, and Amazon is committed to playing our part by donating delivery services to help food banks and community organizations get meals to the doorsteps of people in need.”
