Charlotte grocery store offers free delivery to protect immigrant community

In a step to protect the city’s immigrant community while U.S. Border Patrol is in Charlotte detaining people, Compare Foods has offered free pickup and delivery of groceries through Dec. 31.

Customers can also ask the store about its Uber rides program for those who prefer to shop in person, Compare Foods posted on Instagram on Saturday, Nov. 15. Uber Eats and DoorDash Groceries are also available, though app fees still apply.
