5. Shipt Serves Week: where people meet purpose
Shipt Serves Week ‘22 is a wrap. Team members across the country were encouraged to volunteer virtually or in their communities to live out our value of caring. Since September is Hunger Action Month, many chose to volunteer at organizations committed to the fight against hunger. After this week, we’re well on our way to meeting our goal of 5,000 volunteer hours served this year. Thank you to the team members and partners who brought our purpose and values to life in our communities.
