WHO WE ARE
We are a free of charge grocery delivery team comprised of recent college graduates who want to give back to our communities during this difficult and perplexing time. We will shop for you, pay for the groceries on your behalf, and bring the goods to your door with no delivery fee. You will pay only for the cost of the groceries.
Social Distance Delivery hopes to make a significant impact in Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Charlottesville, and Stafford, VA by allowing those who are elderly or with pre-existing conditions to stay at home while we shop for groceries on their behalf. With no charge for our service, we hope to help all individuals who may have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 and cannot grocery shop for themselves.
All tips are used to assist individuals with food insecurity
