Pick Up and Delivery Instructions

Safety is a number one priority for us and we have updated our pick-up and home delivery protocols in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Please review this Pick-Up and Delivery 2020 Information 

This guide is to help you understand the flow of pick-ups, days and times for locations and guidance on what to do if you are missing an item in your box (sometimes it happens, we're all human!)

Home Delivery Notice: When you select home delivery for your order, please be sure to leave a cooler out for the delivery driver Ali. He will place your food in it's liner and take the box back. If you haven't added any delivery instructions to your account, please do so we can make sure we get your food to the right place. All orders must be picked up during pick up site time. Any orders not picked up at the close of the site will be donated to families who need food.
