CHICAGO -- Food pantries all over the Chicago area make sure people in need can feed their families, but what happens when one of those people can't make it to the food pantry? The Northern Illinois Food Bank has a solution, using DoorDash drivers to deliver food like they would from a restaurant. David Kierna is a DoorDash driver who is just one of dozens of drivers picking up groceries at the Northern Illinois Food Bank distribution center in Lake Forest to bring them to people in need.
They can just go online and order the food that they need, and they know that it will just be brought to their door.'Those who get their food bank orders delivered don't have to pay for delivery. The drivers are paid by the food bank and through a grant from DoorDash. The deliveries are open to anyone, and they're sensitive to those who might feel embarrassed.'We fight against the stigma that comes with going to a food bank.
