Painted in the spirit of "dela"
In Swedish, dela means "to share." It's the small word for a big idea — that families do better when they pool their care, their effort, and yes, their grocery runs.
Delapass began in a Columbus living room in 2024, when three families compared what they'd spent on diapers in a single month. The numbers hurt. So they did what their grandparents would have done: they pooled.
One bulk diaper order became a shared babysitter, became a group rate on dental, became a Saturday at the children's museum where everyone got in for half price. Soon there were thirty families. Then a hundred. Then a second chapter in Minneapolis, where the Scandinavian co-op tradition runs deep.
Today Delapass is a for-profit cooperative built on a stubborn belief: that buying for your family shouldn't be a lonely act. Our pass is the small green card that says, you're not alone in this — your neighbors have your back.
