To support ongoing disaster recovery efforts following Hurricane Florence, we are donating up to $300,000 of rides, food, and relief to the families and communities affected by the storm. Our teams are working with local officials to understand where these services can be most helpful.
To support displaced families throughout the Carolinas, we are working directly with government officials and the American Red Cross. Our current efforts include:
- Providing 5 free rides up to $25 each to and from state-approved evacuation shelters in NC and SC so people in impacted areas can access transportation when they most need it. See below for state-specific details on rides in North Carolina and South Carolina shelters (list of shelters in North Carolina here and South Carolina here). Terms apply (and click here for an update on Uber’s availability once normal operations resume).
- Coordinating with local partners to deliver donations of food to volunteers
- Providing discounted or free meals to law enforcement working tirelessly to keep our communities safe
If you are a government, nonprofit, or other organization with an immediate need for rides or are interested in partnering on other response efforts, please email us at FlorenceRelief@uber.com and we will respond as soon as possible.
