Project DASH

Project DASH

United Way’s Project DASH, in partnership with DoorDash, delivers essential items like food and household necessities directly to families in need across Champaign County.

We work with local food pantries and nonprofits to ensure neighbors who can’t access items on their own—such as new mothers, people with disabilities, and homebound seniors—receive what they need at no cost.

The program launched in Champaign County in August 2022, and since then we’ve completed over 4,600 deliveries, helping families stay connected to the essentials they need to live healthy, stable lives.
