Kroger is participating with Drone Express to deliver orders from a location in Centerville, OH. to either a street address or a public area.  Walmart has tested drones supplied by Flytrex of Israel.  The initial application is for COVID diagnostic test kits and to deliver health and wellness products.

United Parcel Service, Alphabet, and Premier an Amazon subsidiary have received permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to evaluate drone deliveries.  It is understood that the current weight limit is approximately five pounds.  The use of drones is probably justified for urgent medical supplies, but there does not appear to be any application for delivery non-essential, low-value food products.
