SPOKANE, Wash. — Uber is providing $200,000 to Spokane-area restaurants and drivers affected by wildfires in August.
The company said 16 restaurants on the Uber Eats platform will each receive $10,000 grants to help with expenses related to closures, evacuations and reduced business.
Eligible drivers whose earnings were affected by the fires will receive $1,000 grants.
Uber said the funding is being provided through its Disaster Relief Fund for U.S. Merchants.
“Restaurants are at the heart of every community, and when disasters strike, they’re often among the small businesses hit hardest,” said Jean Martinou, Western general manager for Uber Eats and Postmates.
