Weather Relief: Hays County

Our mission is to make cities better, especially in a time of need. That’s why we are partnering with the Hays County Food Bank to collect non-perishable food donations tomorrow, as the area recovers from the recent storms. For residents of Hays County, we’re also helping those affected by the flood by offering free rides next week. Let’s come together to #HelpHays.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Box up your food donations. The most needed items for disaster relief are high-protein canned meals with pop-top cans (ravioli, soups, spaghetti, tuna, salmon, chicken, beans, chili), single serving meals that do not require refrigeration or cooked meals ready-to-eat, and canned fruits/veggies in a pop-top can.
2. Open your Uber app between 11AM – 2PM on Saturday, May 30, in central Austin
3. Request RELIEF at the bottom of the screen
4. If you’re connected, an SUV will arrive to pick up your items – and will drop-off your donation to a Hays County Food Bank Donation Center
