Sometimes the best trip is no trip. The following list of resources may be of use if you or a loved one is unable to leave home due to illness, injury or pain.
Food & Grocery
Michigan households who receive food assistance are now able to buy food online from Amazon.com and Walmart.com using their Bridge Cards. Purchases can be made on eligible food items just as one would use a credit or debit card for an online purchase. SNAP benefits cannot be used to pay for delivery fees. Free curbside pick up options might be available and free delivery options might be available for orders that reach a certain amount.
