ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — In the wake of Hurricane Ian, delivery company DoorDash announced aid to customers and businesses affected by the storm in Florida.
But as of Monday afternoon, $20 in relief credits for use toward food or other materials have all been claimed, the company said. Some 50,000 customers were emailed over the weekend about the credits.
There are no current plans to do another rollout of credits, DoorDash told 10 Tampa Bay.
The credits were available to people in Orlando, Tampa, Lakeland, Port St. Lucie, Homosassa, Inverness and Key West.
"Many people are in urgent need of assistance, and we’re taking steps to support the recovery effort in the affected regions," DoorDash said in an earlier statement.
Still available is a Restaurant Disaster Relief Fund through a partnership with Hello Alice, providing $10,000 relief grants to businesses. If eligible, a company can use the money to cover costs like rent or mortgage costs, inventory and more.
Applications opened Monday, Oct. 3, and run through Dec. 30. Some of the eligibility requirements include being affected by the disaster, being independently owned, having three or fewer stores and more.
After Hurricane Ian moved through the state, several companies nationwide announced donations aimed to assist those in recovery. They include Verizon, with a $125,000 donation to the Florida Disaster Fund, Ally Financial contributing $100,000 to various organizations and a $5 million contribution from Target.
