This September, Uride is taking action against hunger in a direct and impactful way. In recognition of Hunger Action Month, we're mobilizing our resources and community to address food insecurity, one of the most pressing issues affecting our communities. Our drivers will be purchasing and donating groceries to local food banks across the cities we operate in, ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious food.
Nourishing Our Communities
Food insecurity can affect anyone, and our initiative aims to reach as many people as possible through local food banks. These essential organizations work tirelessly to combat hunger and provide meals to those who might otherwise go without. By equipping them with more resources, we can help extend their reach and impact, ensuring that fewer members of our community suffer from hunger.

Our Commitment to Community Support
By engaging our drivers in the collection and donation of groceries, we foster a deeper connection with the communities we serve and create a direct line of support to those in need. This initiative not only helps fill the shelves of food banks but also raises awareness about food insecurity, encouraging others to take action.
