GO RIDE support for COVID-19 infection control

With the spread of COVID-19, we here at GO RIDE thought about what we could do as the world needs the power of a helping hand and supporting each other. Above all, the entire team hopes to save as many lives as possible and to bring an end to this virus as soon as possible.

What we can do

5% of the cost of building a new Shopify store during April 2020 will be donated to healthcare organizations in the form of masks, disinfectant and other supplies.

If you are interested, please contact us here. We offer free online consultations in LA and Yokohama. We will report back to you when the donation is complete.

Why we are doing this

We learned through SNS that there is a serious shortage of medical equipment, including masks and protective clothing, in the medical field at present. We here at GO RIDE would like to contribute and support our medical professionals as much as we can, so we have decided to donate medical equipment to local hospitals.

Efforts

In order to prevent infection, we have been moving to remote work in both LA and Yokohama since the middle of February. Please note that we are meeting our clients strictly through conference calls online. We are also continuing our recruitment efforts, welcoming and encouraging people to contact us via Wantedly for online interviews. There are some open positions at Yokohama position.
