Cal OES announced that it has received a $1 million donation from technology company DoorDash through its Community Credits program to support broader vaccine access in underserved communities. This new partnership also aims to bolster the outreach efforts of Mobile Vaccination Clinics (MVCs) and Community Vaccination Clinics (CVCs).
“As a critical component in our fight against COVID-19, we have prioritized making these vaccines and our distribution points for the vaccines as equitable and accessible as possible,” said Cal OES Director Mark Ghilarducci. “Meanwhile, we recognize in this effort to reach all Californians equitably, we need our partners in the private sector, like DoorDash, to make this possible. Cal OES is extremely appreciative of this DoorDash partnership and their contribution to support vaccine distribution in our communities hit hard by COVID-19.”
