Instacart will distribute free health and safety kits to all of its full-service shoppers as part of its commitment to keep its shopper community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instacart worked with third-party manufacturers as well as medical and infectious disease experts to source and develop the kits, which include face masks, hand sanitizer, and thermometers.
“We’re singularly focused on the health and safety of our shopper community. Our teams have been working around the clock over the last few weeks to proactively secure personal protective equipment like hand sanitizer and face masks, without taking away valuable resources from healthcare workers given inventory delays and global supply scarcity,” said Nilam Ganenthiran, president of Instacart, in a statement. “We want to provide customers with an essential service they can rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart personal shoppers. As COVID-19 evolves, today’s health and safety solutions will be tomorrow’s table stakes, and our teams are working quickly to introduce new services and features to ensure our shopper community is supported as this situation unfolds.”
