Wie Uber unter India Veränderung ist die Bundeswehr mit UberFAUJI

[boy-eats-world]

I'm done with finals, back at home and can finally start blogging again! We all know Uber, the rapidly expanding car service provider that for many has obviated the inconvenience of hailing a taxi. But what many may not know is that Uber is a very socially forward thinking and philanthropic company. Amongst the many programs Uber boasts is UberMILITARY, dedicated to providing 50,000 jobs for service members, veterans and their families. Their most recent act of giving has been UberCHEF and UberLUNCH. UberCHEF is a collaboration with kitchen surfing, an online marketplace for chefs, offering for this week only an on-demand chef service on the Uber app. UberLUNCH is a collaboration with various local restaurants in cities around the country to deliver lunch in under 10 minutes. All of the proceeds from these initiatives go to support the No Kid Hungry foundation, which is fighting to end childhood hunger in America. Hunger is much more prevalent in America than one may think. According to No Kid Hungry, 16 million or approximately 20 percent of children in America face food insecurity, which has devastating implications for the physical and educational development of the next generation. Uber was able to reach their target goal of donating 3 million meals in 48 hours; their next goal is 1 million more. It is heartwarming to see a company employ their recent success as a means of giving back and fighting for a better America. While I am glad to be home, I would love to be back in Boston: enjoying a gourmet meal prepared by a professional chef all while supporting Uber and No Kid Hungry in the fight against hunger.
