These are scary and uncertain times. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the fewer trips to the store, the better. Nonetheless, people need groceries and supplies. Among those on the front lines of this pandemic are the grocery store workers and delivery drivers who are working to ensure that our consumer needs are met. The following is a list of services that deliver food and groceries to the Boston market. Using these services can ensure support of social distancing efforts, which is a critical component in the fight against the spread of this virus.
By the same token, the people who are delivering your groceries are putting their own health at risk to serve your needs. Be respectful and appreciative of that fact, and tip accordingly. Additionally, high demand may impact delivery availability for each of these services. Your patience is appreciated.
