Updated: July 13, 2026
Deliveries
The map below displays our projected delivery coverage through the end of October 2026. Deliveries are coordinated, contactless drop-offs by BCA volunteers. Request a delivery here.
Blue = consistent coverage
Yellow = occasional deliveries possible
Porch Pickups
These are typically coordinated, contactless pickups with BCA volunteers, though can sometimes look like masked hand offs in public places. The most updated list lives on our request form. This option is often quicker than delivery! As of early July, we offer porch pickups in:
Allston / Lower Allston
Cleveland Circle (Brighton)
Coolidge Corner (Brookline)
Inman Square (Camberville)
Union Square (Somerville)
Ball Square (Somerville)
Jamaica Plain (Parkside)
Jamaica Plain (Pondside)
Quincy (Target)
Hubs
Hubs are brick-and-mortar businesses and community centers that we stock with free masks and tests for drop-in pickup, no form required! We’re up to 10 locations across the city.
We’re saying a goodbye for now and big thank you to Mbadika in Cambridge for their great work as a hub this past year. We appreciate you! You can continue to find supplies in Cambridge at Made by Me and Circus Coop Cafe.
We also recently welcomed Brookline Booksmith as an official hub!
As always, a full, updated list of hubs can be found here. Be sure to check hours and accessibility information and call ahead if you have a specific stocking question!
