DoorDash announced it will waive delivery fees on all orders in Los Angeles County while simultaneously launching a charitable initiative to support wildfire relief efforts. The move aims to assist local residents accessing essential goods and services during the ongoing wildfire crisis.

“By waiving our fees on all orders – from local restaurants, to groceries and essentials like baby food, pet supplies, and toiletries – we hope that we can help getting through this next chapter even a fraction easier,” the company stated.

The fee waiver applies to all deliveries within Los Angeles County, including restaurants, groceries, and essential items. DoorDash noted that deliveries may experience delays as they prioritize Dasher safety, and operations remain suspended in areas with current evacuation mandates or where it is unsafe to deliver.

In addition to waiving fees, DoorDash will donate $1 to World Central Kitchen for every order placed in Los Angeles County, up to a total of $1 million. World Central Kitchen has mobilized their relief teams across Los Angeles County to provide hot meals to first responders and families impacted by the wildfires. Every donation will support World Central Kitchen’s vital efforts during unimaginable tragedies, like the wildfires.

This initiative follows support measures announced earlier last week for local restaurants and Dashers impacted by these fires, along with donations to those who’ve been displaced and the first responders on the front lines.
