Tech Tools to Stay Connected

You may be home — but thanks to technology, you’re not alone. These helpful smartphone apps and virtual tools can help connect you with loved ones, food delivery services, and more.

MISSING FAMILY AND FRIENDS?

  • Have a video chat via Skype or WhatsApp on your smartphone, laptop, or tablet.

AVOIDING THE SUPERMARKET?

  • Order from restaurants with Grubhub or DoorDash.
  • Try Home Chef or Blue Apron, both of which package pre-measured ingredients and recipe cards for an easy, restaurant-quality dinner.

ON THE GO?

  • Pull up ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft.
  • Don’t have a smartphone? GoGoGrandparent partners with both ride-sharing apps. They’ll even take orders for grocery deliveries.

All apps listed are available through the Apple Store and Google Play.
