DealDash, the popular online auctions and e-commerce company, recently announced that it is donating 24,447 meals to families across America in their effort to fight the growing hunger crisis.
This generous donation is the result of a week-long charity drive where DealDash would donate one meal for every purchase made. To pull off this ambitious promotion, DealDash pledged to donate to the US hunger relief agency Feeding America.
“I am very proud of our Team, our customers, and our partners for making this donation possible,” said Pasi Lohi, CEO of DealDash. “When we announced our pledge of matching each purchase with a meal donation, our customers responded in a big way and the result is better than we could have imagined.”
