Comment on With services like Uber, DoorDash, Instacart etc, how do the apps give you orders?

So theoretically, if I want to help out my community, I’d have to sit in parking lots at a store?

From my admittedly limited understanding if you wanted to help the community via Instacart and the alternatives, yes. You’ll get the occasional order while driving to a hotspot, but most of your time will be the spent the same way as it was with UberEats. Sitting in parking lots waiting for an order to pop-up.
If you’re not hurting for money, and you’re just looking to help I’ll always recommend reaching out to some of the local volunteer groups in your area. In my local area they’re almost always hurting for volunteers, and they’re always thankful when someone shows up
