Help! I can't get groceries in Washington, DC

We have been trying to find resources for grocery delivery during the pandemic. This is a very real challenge for people who don't use the internet or may not be able to leave the house.  Many of our support networks are fraying as more people become ill.
​Fortunately Mayor Bowser has provided some new options.

Please call 1-888-349-8323 if you or a loved one is unable to get food or other essential items. They will deliver it to your home. If you use this service please let us know how it is working for you.

From Mayor Bowser's Facebook page:

"Today, I launched 10 weekday grocery distribution sites at DC schools to help families access meals and other resources during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. The grocery distribution sites are being launched in partnership with Martha's Table and DC Central Kitchen. They're available to all families and are open Monday – Friday, 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. At these sites, residents can pick up pre-packed grocery bags, which include fresh produce and dry goods. Groceries are being distributed on a first come, first served basis.
Breakfast and lunch are still being distributed at these schools and other sites across the District.
​Visit https://coronavirus.dc.gov/…/images/Meal%20Sites04102020.pdf for a comprehensive schedule and list of distribution sites.
I also launched a COVID-19 hotline and web portal for residents to request food and essential items be delivered to their homes if they have been directed to self-quarantine, or if they have no other means to acquire these items:
