Helping Local Grocery Delivery Shoppers on the Front Lines
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been overwhelmed with stories about local shoppers going out of their way to help and deliver groceries for the vulnerable populations in their communities (elderly, immuno-suppressed, pregnant, etc).
At a time when we’re all being asked to stay at home and avoid contact with others, these shoppers are putting their own health and safety on the line to brave crowded and hectic stores to get the food and supplies that people need.
As local business owners, some are even reducing or waving their service fees to further help these at-risk individuals, acting solely out of service to their community, even when being impacted financially themselves. It truly is inspiring to see.
Dumpling Community Support Program
To help and support business owners in these heroic efforts, we’re introducing the Dumpling Community Support program, which will give them $10 for every order that serves the vulnerable populations in their community. Our hope is to offset the financial burden that shoppers are experiencing, and allow them to continue doing the amazing work they’re doing.
We don’t know how long we’ll be able to provide this support, but one thing we do know is that now is the time for us to come together as a community and help each other as much as we can. We will keep you all updated as we determine how long we will be able to keep this program running.
