Troops, families and veterans will be able to order groceries to their door — bringing base commissaries into the 21st century.
By the end of January, military families within a 20-mile radius of 70 stateside commissaries will be able to order groceries online through the Defense Commissary Agency’s CLICK2GO, officials announced in a release. Eligible locations include most of the major bases, like Fort Bragg and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, and Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
“If you can access the Commissary CLICK2GO online platform, you can use the delivery service,” Kevin Robinson, a spokesperson for the Defense Commissary Agency said. “This is not just a service for folks who are living on base. If you are within the 20-mile delivery radius you will be able to access this service.”
The service charges customers a flat fee of $17.75 for deliveries up to 10 miles, and $31.25 for orders between 10 and 20 miles away, according to the release.
The program’s expansion was initially reported by Military Times’ Karen Jowers, who wrote that as of Wednesday, 32 commissaries were already delivering groceries, with a further 14 expected to start by the end of that day.
The mobile grocery service was tested out in a 2022 pilot with eight stores and now the agency is expanding it to a total of 70 stores throughout January.
Officials plan to bring online delivery options to the remaining 108 commissaries across the U.S. by the summer, Robinson said, adding that there are no plans to bring online grocery delivery to overseas commissaries.
The online delivery service was created based on feedback from young, single enlisted service members, and disabled veterans and their caregivers who wanted more convenient and accessible grocery options, officials said in the release.
Defense Department civilians who have “limited shopping privileges” that are part of the civilian shopping pilot program are not able to use Commissary CLICK2GO, Robinson said.
