Hard to say. I'm not sure of the delivery radius that's allowed here and whether rural food deserts would even be eligible or not. I was just mentioning that ordering (non-perishable) groceries online and having them shipped does have a legit and unfortunate use case.
Back when I lived 45 ~~miles~~ minutes from the closest grocery store, I'd order my non-perishables online and they'd usually come via UPS or FedEx.
I did that during the height of COVID, when my household was only going to the store once a month. Imperfect Foods was how I got fresh produce in between those trips.
