Common Questions and Answers
Question:
How do I know when my delivery will be coming?
Answer:
There is no set timing for pantry deliveries. Depending on volunteer availability it may be as quickly as same day to a few weeks. It truly depends on how many deliveries are in cue and the amount of product we have to send out and our volunteer availability.
Question:
Where do you deliver?
Answer:
We deliver to Montgomery County. If you are within 15 miles of our location more than likely a Doordash Driver will be making the delivery. If you are more than 15 miles we will be delivering to you directly. If we are delivering it may take a bit longer given the driving distance from our location.
Question:
How long does a delivery take?
Answer:
A delivery can be as soon as the same day and it can also take up to 30 days depending how many deliveries are in cue. As more people have found out about our delivery service our cue has increased. At some points we have had well over 300 deliveries in cue.
