Uber is offering free rides for victims of the California wildfires and free meals for first responders as the blazes continue to burn.
In an effort to help those affected or displaced by the fires, the rideshare company is offering free rides for residents of San Mateo, Salinas, Aptos, Soquel, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Carmel, Livermore, Napa, Half Moon Bay, Cupertino, Monterey, Vacaville, and Watsonville.
“We’re devastated by the wildfires that continue to rage across the state of California and want to do our part in helping those who are suffering,” Julia Paige, the director of social impact at Uber, told T+L in an email. “We’re leveraging the power of our platform to ensure residents and first responders have access to free rides, free meals and essential goods.”
To take advantage of the free rides for UberX and Uber XL, residents were asked to use the code “CAFIRE2020.” The offer was good for two rides up to $25 each to or from impacted areas.
In addition, Uber is offering 2,000 free meals to firefighters and first responders working to put out the raging fires through Uber Eats. The company said it was distributing these meals through fire departments and other community organizations.
