The first thing that has always alarmed me about being stranded is the fear of running out of food. I have used a few online resources to buy food and other household items. Although you do have to pay more, it's better than going hungry or freaking out about "who will help me"???
Here are some companies I have ordered food from, and it was such a relief...!!!!

expensive, but it comes overnight, next day. Fresh and great produce.

I ordered beans in cans online...and it was like getting a birthday package! Not as fast as diamond, above, but what a great relief to get my food!

Supplements, EMF stuff, water filter stuff, supplements, and some food items. They've changed their food item options, so I don't normally buy food from them anymore.

In a pinch if you need some standard things; but they sell things now from Aubrey and Second Generation.
Of course shipping is a big ticket item on all of these. It's an expensive business being ill. There have been times when I've just had to bite my lip and go ahead and order the food...despite the cost.
If you live in and around Rochester, NY - the only grocery store that delivers is Hegedorn's in Webster. I don't know how far they will travel.
