In a major move to support households facing financial pressures, food delivery platform DoorDash has announced it will give away 60,000 free meals to Australian customers this week.
Four-Day Mega Giveaway Details
The massive food giveaway begins on Wednesday and runs for four consecutive days, offering different meal options each day to both new and existing customers. The free meals will be available daily from 4pm until daily limits are reached, with the company describing it as their way of bringing extra joy during the busy end-of-year period.
DoorDash explained the timing is intentional, noting that "as the calendar fills, to-do lists grow, and the end-of-year rush kicks in, this is the moment Aussies need a break." The initiative aims to deliver the dishes and go-to favourites that fuel everyone ahead of the busiest weeks of the year.
Daily Meal Schedule and Participation
The giveaway follows a carefully planned schedule with specific offerings each day:
- Wednesday, November 26: 15,000 free burgers
- Thursday, November 27: 15,000 free burritos
- Friday, November 28: 15,000 free pizzas
- Saturday, November 29: 15,000 free meal bundles
Customers can access these offers through participating restaurants including popular chains like Guzman Y Gomez, Betty's Burgers, and Grill'd, along with other options available on the DoorDash app. To claim a free meal, users simply need to download and open the DoorDash app, then select their items from participating restaurants during the promotion hours.
Supporting Australians During Economic Challenges
This substantial giveaway comes at a time when many Australian families are grappling with rising living costs. By providing 60,000 free meals nationwide, DoorDash positions itself as a company looking to make a genuine difference in the community during the festive season.
The company emphasised that this initiative is specifically designed to help ease the financial burden on households while celebrating the so-called silly season. With the end-of-year period typically bringing additional expenses and social commitments, the free meal offer provides both practical support and a welcome treat for lucky customers across the country.
