The companies announced a Vaccine Access Fund that covers the cost for rides to vaccination sites for people who may not be able to afford them. The companies said people can donate to the fund directly through the Uber or Uber Eats apps using a new donate feature supported by PayPal Giving Fund.
Donations can also be made through PayPal's website.
The three companies announced they're making an $11 million joint donation. Local Initiatives Support Corporation, a community development organization, will receive money from the donations and help local nonprofits set up free rides to vaccination sites.
