iFood is a central piece in a food ecosystem that suffered major impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand our important role at this time and the responsibility to support all links in this chain.
Therefore, we accelerate the development of solutions to benefit this ecosystem.
How the movement came about
In this process, we received contact from companies from different sectors, who were also interested in helping and were looking for a way to operationalize their actions quickly and on a large scale.
That's when the idea of creating a movement arose so that other companies could contribute to our initiatives and more people could benefit.
Thus, we created Todos à Mesa. A solidarity movement between companies to raise resources to support vulnerable populations and people who are part of our ecosystem and partner companies.
The Todos à Mesa movement was born with the essence of collaboration and always being under construction, open to new ideas and supporters from all sectors of society, for the challenges of this moment and the future.
iFood, Coca-Cola Brasil, Copagaz, Unilever and Mastercard united to feed.
The first wave of the movement was aimed at donating food to homeless people and institutions such as Sefras, CUFA, InCor, as well as vouchers to encourage small and medium-sized restaurants.
A new request: speed up vaccination
In December 2020, we created a new wave of this movement to help vaccinate frontline professionals during the pandemic. And to start with, iFood is donating R$10 million and inviting other brands to donate to the cause.
For iFood, the focus is to support actions that accelerate the vaccination of delivery drivers, as another way to protect these professionals and their families, while helping to keep more people at home.
So, we are inviting companies from all sectors to mobilize for professionals who are part of their ecosystems and are also essential to society, especially in this time of pandemic.
