A shopping specialist is needed for a local couple who cannot drive due to blindness. This couple is really good at finding work-arounds and getting things done but they still cannot drive. Using para-transit is one solution, but the winter is harsh and you can only take a bag or two on the bus. A buddy with a car is really helpful! Could that be you?
