Food delivery service SkipTheDishes vows to help more Canadians during the COVID-19 crisis. The company is giving an additional estimated $10 million to communities and restaurant partners through different commitments. The company initially directed over $5 million for a 30-day support package. Now, SkipTheDishes is extending the support package, which includes a rebate of 25% to assist local and independent restaurant partners whose dining rooms remain closed. The additional money will be given through direct rebates and marketing support.

The service also previously launched an option for customers to support local restaurants by directly leaving tips, with 100% of the contributions going to the restaurant of their choice. The customers managed to raise over $200,000 for neighbourhood eateries. It is with this generosity that the company launched a $1 million partnership with Food Banks Canada. SkipTheDishes immediately matched the $200,000 that the customers gave, with additional contributions to be made throughout the year to help relieve hunger during these trying times.
