Grocery Delivery Options Grocery Delivery Options Winter is heading our way, and if you find it difficult to grocery shop, there is an ever-expanding list of delivery options in the area. COVID-19 has also made getting groceries more difficult, and many grocery services will offer non-contact delivery to lessen the risk. Here is a breakdown of the most common services and how to use them. Meal and Grocery Delivery St. Anthony Park Area Seniors uses volunteers to do grocery delivery for seniors in their service area (St. Anthony Park, Lauderdale and Falcon Heights west of Cleveland Avenue). Call the SAPAS office at 651-642-9052 to get a volunteer to do shopping within the next week. Tim and Tom’s Speedy Market is located on Como Avenue. They offer free grocery delivery for SAPAS members if you are unable to shop for yourself. They offer phone ordering and delivery on Fridays. Tim and Tom’s will accept payment by check or credit card. More information is available by calling the SAPAS office at (651) 642-9052. Schwan’s will deliver frozen foods, and orders can be placed online or by phone at 1-888-74- 9267. They often have coupon codes available for first-time orders as well as AARP members. Orders placed for over $50 are delivered for free; those under $50 have a small fee attached that varies by how you order. Their website is www.schwans.com. Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals for a fee that is based on your need. Meals are delivered weekdays, and if you have a health condition, they can work with you to prepare meals that meet your requirements. Meals on Wheels can be reached by calling (612) 623-3363 or visiting their website at https://meals-on-wheels.com/get-meals/sign-up/. Help at Your Door provides assistance with both grocery shopping and delivery. They are a non-profit which charges a small fee for their services, which is based on your income. SNAP and EBT benefits are accepted through Help at Your Door. You can reach them by phone at (651) 642-1892, or visit their website: https://helpatyourdoor.org/services/#grocery. Instacart offers both curbside pickup and delivery of groceries from a variety of stores, including Cub, Lund’s and Byerly’s, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Aldi. They do charge a fee for their services, and their employees are independent contractors, so tips for excellent service are appreciated. Instacart’s service will drop groceries at your door for a contactless experience. Visit www.instacart.com for more information. Shipt, which is owned by Target, offers delivery from a number of places. They include Target, Hy-Vee, Kowalksi’s, and Lund’s and Byerly’s. Shipt also charges a fee for their services, but they do offer an annual membership as well. Like Instacart, Shipt drivers are contractors and tips for service are recommended. Information on Shipt’s services can be found at www.shipt.com. Additional Food Resources Keystone Community Services has an emergency food shelf located at 1916 University Ave W in St. Paul. Due to COVID-19, they have changed their services and no longer require an appointment for food assistance. You can visit any time they are open, which is Monday-Friday from 10 am-12:30 pm and 2 pm-4:30 pm. Keystone is also now offering delivery of food shelf items if you cannot make it to their location. They are no longer limiting services by income, but you must be in need of help. Keystone can be reached by phone at (651) 917-3792 or by their website at: https://keystoneservices.org/food-shelves/. Second Harvest Heartland in conjunction with the Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors provides a free box of food once a month if you meet certain income limits. Second Harvest has multiple distribution sites throughout the Twin Cities. To find out if you qualify or to obtain additional information, call (651) 484-8241. .

Legal claims filed against the companies tell a different story.

  • Prop 22 Leaves Workers Vulnerable to COVID-19
    Rigging the Gig How Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash’s Ballot Initiative Would Put Corporations Above the Law and Steal Wages, Benefits, and Protections from California Workers Prop 22 Leaves Workers Vulnerable to COVID-19 For many, work is a source of dignity, identity, and purpose—a way to provide for a family and support a community. All work should be safe, be free from discrimination, and provide a fair wage, benefits, and the ability for workers to join together and bargain with their employer for more stability and security. Yet, on Election Day in November, California voters will be presented with an unprecedented and dangerous ballot initiative—Proposition 22—that would put workers further from that goal.1 Advanced by Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, and Postmates,2 Prop 22 aims to strip workers of core protections such as overtime pay, unemployment insurance, and paid sick leave—benefits required by law but which these companies have flouted.3 As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to devastate California, Prop 22 means that workers, their families, and whole communities will lose important safety and security protections. In order to defeat the virus, we must ensure that all of us have workplace safety and income protections, so that none of us is forced to risk our lives just to pay the bills. Many Californians have righty expressed deep appreciation and support for the drivers and delivery people who have played a critical role in sustaining families. These workers were designated as essential in California in April.4 But gig companies have a different view, expressed in Prop 22.
