Local Spotlight: How EasyBins is supporting social distancing and partnering with Potter’s House overnight.
Yesterday, TechCrunch reported that grocery delivery apps have seen record downloads since the coronavirus outbreak.
“With government mandates to practice “social distancing,” U.S. consumers have been stocking up for long weeks to be spent at home. Stores were cleared of key supplies, like toilet paper, and several also saw long lines and crowds as panic-buying set in. Grocery delivery and pickup, meanwhile, presents an easier option — as well as one where you could limit your exposure to other people. With grocery pickup, consumers only have to interact with a single store employee from their curbside parking space. And with grocery delivery, most orders can simply be left on the doorstep with no person-to-person contact required.”
EasyBins is helping to reinforce the practice of “social distancing” for their employees as well as their customers by supplying daily grocery delivery services in Northwest and Central Arkansas. With grocery pick up and delivery happening in non-peak hours, they are able to protect their employees by offering a ‘socially distance gig’ in our community.
EasyBins is also partnering with Potter’s House to combat poverty in the Northwest Arkansas region during this time of need. Here is a way to give back to the community with EasyBins.
Potter’s House is a local non-profit organization that has served our community for over 20 years. Potter’s House works to build long-standing relationships between socioeconomically and racial/ethnically diverse groups within Fayetteville. During this time, there are families in our community without work and/or children home due to school closures. Your donation will help get food and essentials into the homes of these families, helping them feel supported and prepared.
So how does EasyBins work? The magic and safety happens overnight.
