IGAs priority shop service will now include front line healthcare workers allowing them to purchase the grocery packs too.
This follows IGA's launch of its home delivery service, the priority shop which supports customers who are elderly, vulnerable or isolated by providing essential grocery packs to their door.
The service offers four standard grocery packs to ensure particularly vulnerable community members have basic grocery supplies.
"IGA will continue to support its local communities with its priority shop boxes for those who have no support and are unable to access essential items," CEO for Metcash Food Scott Marshall said.
Chairman of the IGA National Retailer Council Joseph Romeo reassured shoppers visiting the stores that the team had implemented measures to keep staff and customers safe.
"This includes additional cleaning of all common touch points, one-way aisles in some smaller stores and introducing shopper limits to make sure that social distancing guidelines can be achieved," he said.
To see details of the grocery packs and to order go to igashop.com.au or call 1800 018 384.
