The days for home delivery vary. In some communities, an evening meal may be delivered with the noon meal. Food stamps help low-income people increase their food purchasing power. The food stamps are treated like cash at grocery stores that participate in the food stamp program. All eligible applicants receive food stamps in amounts determined by the size and income of their households.
Some grocery stores deliver groceries to an older person's home for a small fee.
Some communities also have a Store to Door program. In some areas, groceries can be ordered over the Internet.
