Uride is Empowering Women This International Women’s Day

At Uride, we believe in creating meaningful impact—not just through the rides we provide but by giving back to the communities we serve. This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to support organizations that uplift and empower women in need. Across Canada, countless shelters and support services work tirelessly to provide safety, resources, and hope to women facing challenges. This month, as part of our Good Deed Program, we are making donations to these vital organizations.

Why This Matters

International Women’s Day is a celebration of strength, resilience, and progress. But it’s also a reminder that many women still face significant barriers, from domestic violence to housing insecurity. The organizations we’re supporting offer shelter, advocacy, and life-changing resources to help women rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence. By standing with them, we hope to contribute to a future where every woman feels safe, supported, and empowered.

Small Acts, Big Impact

Our Good Deed Program is about more than just donations—it’s about spreading kindness, fostering change, and supporting those who dedicate their lives to helping others. We recognize the power of community, and we hope that by highlighting these organizations, we can encourage others to get involved, donate, or simply spread awareness.

To all the women who inspire us every day—our riders, drivers, and community members—this one’s for you 💜.
