To Your Door is now offering delivery of “anything from anywhere to everywhere.”

Working primarily as a delivery service for area restaurants that don’t otherwise offer it, To Your Door will pick up your order and bring it to your home or office. To place your food order, either call the restaurant directly and tell them To Your Door will be picking it up, or ask To Your Door to place the order for you. The charge is $3 per order for fast-food restaurants and $5 for restaurants where your food is cooked to order, which means the delivery driver must wait for it. The only restaurants not participating in this service are those that already offer delivery.

To Your Door also offers grocery service. Give them your list, specify a store if you have a preference, and they will do your shopping and deliver the groceries to you. The cost ranges from $3 to $20, depending on how many items are on your list. You can place your order by phone or by emailing your list to  toyourdoorinc@hotmail.com.

Here’s the phone number to stick on the fridge: (815) 614-3456.

Delivery is available from 10 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

If you live outside of Kankakee, Bradley or Bourbonnais, expect to pay a little more than the prices quoted above. The delivery fee for surrounding areas is $1 per mile from the place of pick-up.

While I’m sure many of us appreciate the convenience of food and grocery delivery, this service is particularly valuable to those who have trouble getting to the store — or the pharmacy or any other similar business, for that matter. If you have elderly family members, consider sharing this information with them.

To Your Door is working on their Web site, www.toyourdoorinc.com, and hope to have it completed early next month. Jeff Smith, the owner of the business, says the site will feature menus for area restaurants and allow for online ordering.

Thanks to a reader named Kim for that tip. She used To Your Door recently and said they had “terrific service.” Her order from Cracker Barrel in Bourbonnais was still hot when it was delivered to her in Kankakee, she said.
