And even as their lives have been upended, too, drivers, couriers and restaurants are moving what matters: getting first responders to work, and food to those who need it.

Alongside them, we want to do our small part to help. Today, we're committing to provide10 million rides and food deliveriesto healthcare workers, seniors, and people in need, free of charge.

This is just the beginning.

We're ready to work with more cities, food banks, hospitals and others around the world to move whatever matters most to them. Organizations looking for support with rides or food deliveries can reach out to us at impact2020@uber.com.

Thank you to the healthcare workers who are saving lives. Thank you to the drivers, delivery people and restaurants who are supporting them. And thank you to all the riders who are doing their part by staying home.

Working together, we can stop this virus and help our communities recover.
