(WAND) - Millions of Americans will be impacted if SNAP benefits are paused amid the ongoing federal shutdown. DoorDash decided to step in to ensure no one goes hungry.

DoorDash shared in a press release that it has launched an Emergency Food Response, which will include the following for Americans on SNAP benefits:

Delivering one million meals for its Project DASH food bank and food pantry partners

Removing delivery and service fees for an estimated 300,000 orders for SNAP recipients

Donating fresh, shelf-stable items and essentials to local food banks
