"Uber has teamed up with Meals on Wheels America to help the organization fulfill its mission of providing healthy meals to homebound seniors, veterans and others. The two-year partnership entails a $1 million donation, which includes a direct contribution to Meals on Wheels and promotional codes for volunteers to get free rides, as well as volunteer support from Uber employees." 

Finally a good use for Uber!

      Jee, whopping "1 million"?  How many 1 million in 70 billion?

        Uber's valuation doesn't mean they can spend all that.  but I see your point though.  We all know 1 million is nothing to them, and they can easily afford it.   It's the thought that counts, and it's pretty blatantly obvious that they are doing this to boost public perception. 

        I guess any try is a good try.
