Hello! My name is Hill and, like many people in 2020, my life was changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. My move to Detroit from Grand Rapids, Michigan for a fresh start in life was abruptly cut short. My job as an Office Manager at a medical clinic in Detroit was very promising and I was excited to heal my community. Unfortunately, we had to close our doors to due to COVID-19. Not knowing how to make ends meet, I started working as a Shopper with the grocery delivery service Shipt. I’ve always had a sincere approach to help people any way I can; Shipt Shopping, I decided, was going to be a great match for me. Working during the height of the pandemic, I was able to shop for over 2,000 families – allowing those individuals to stay home and stay safe. As time went on, I noticed Shipt to be more of a luxury service, especially in the financial sense. There is a noticeable upcharge between products listed in the app and the product prices in-store; with delivery service fees and Shopper tips included, this option may not always be feasible for those on fixed incomes. The app is also geared more towards the “tech-savvy” and could be difficult to navigate for shoppers with physical or communicable impairments. I quickly became aware of the lack of other necessary services available to those in the community who need additional accommodations.
