I am in the process of compiling a comprehensive list of resources for my clients who do not wish to leave their homes over the next 2-3 weeks to purchase groceries. Below, you’ll find a link to my growing list for your own use and information!
I’ve gotten started on it, and I’d like to share what I have so far with you so that you can:
- Begin to explore these options to keep you and your family safe and fed in the upcoming weeks, and…
- Let me know if I have left any resources you love and use off of this list!
If you are aware of other resources (local growers, businesses, etc. or larger grocery chains) that are non-subscription based services offering delivery of fresh grocery items directly to individuals’ homes, feel free to comment below and I will continue to add more resources to this list.
If you are feeling overwhelmed at the thought of planning and ordering fresh groceries to keep yourself nourished in the weeks ahead, keep on reading for a new service I am providing to help you.
I have included a diverse range of options in this list to accommodate different needs and desires at this time. You will find options from local/ organic growers as well as larger retail chains whose grocery items may be priced more competitively if you need to be sensitive to your food budget at this time.
If you are new to ordering groceries online, I would recommend creating and scheduling your order as far in advance as you are able (ideally a minimum of 2 days ahead of time). Sometimes due to high demand, delivery is not always offered as an option. If this is the case, continue to check back to see if more delivery windows become available.

Introducing 30-minute Health & Wellness Consultations
These sessions are different than a typical Clinical Nutrition Counseling Session where we take a deep dive into your health history, medical diagnoses, medications, etc. Instead, these mini-sessions will focus on:
- Supporting the immune system through food, hydration, and a positive mindset
- Shopping for foods that meet energy and nutrient needs with a long shelf life
- Decreasing stress and anxiety through mindfulness and movement
- Creating self-care routines amidst a chaotic and stressful work environment
