At DoorDash, we’re proud to celebrate the diverse cultures that make up our merchants, our consumers, and our people. Alongside our Unidos@ DoorDash Employee Resource Group, we’re coming together during National Hispanic Heritage Month to honor the rich cultures and significant contributions of Americans whose ancestors hail from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
Throughout September and October, we’re celebrating trailblazers in our workplace, communities, and taking moments to celebrate lives who have shaped and continue to shape our future.
We kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month with an in-office farmers market in collaboration with our Workplace Experience Team in our Arizona office hub, an in-person AMA with Fair Trade Cafe owner Stephanie Vasquez, and a SummerFest farmers market at our HQ in San Francisco.
Throughout the rest of the month, we’ll have exciting in-person and virtual events including a Mexican Independence Day celebration in our Mexico City office and two community service events, hosting respective blood drives in Mexico City and Tempe.
We’ll test our people’s knowledge of Hispanic culture through a trivia event, chat with co-founders of the Unidos ERG Richard Furtado and Jovonnie Gonzales about the impact of Hispanic culture on their professional lives, and hear from our Chief People Officer and Unidos@ executive sponsor Mariana Garavaglia about her career journey during a Paint & Sips event.
Throughout the year, we provide learning and development opportunities to keep the conversation going, including how to succeed as a Latina in the global work environment, accountability for equity and inclusion, and uncovering your authentic self at work.
