Residents of Christianburg are under stay at home orders and are taking advantage of the service to receive goods without having to leave their homes.
Wing was approved to test deliveries in the area last October, but has recently added new vendors to better serve residents during the lockdown.
The firm has made more than 1,000 deliveries in the past two weeks, with toilet paper, coffee and cookies being the most popular.
Alphabet's Wing opened for business in Virginia October 2019 when it partnered with FedEx, Walgreens and Super Magnolia, a local grocery store chain.
Now, the it has added new vendors to the list in order to help those stuck in their homes get products they need, Forbes reported.
Wing spokesperson Jonathan Bass said: 'The technology is particularly useful at a time when people are homebound in many cases and the need to limit human-to-human contact is important.'
In addition 'to partnerships with FedEx Corp. and the Walgreens drug-store chain, Wing recently began deliveries from a bakery and a coffee shop.'
