Volunteer Driver-Grocery Delivery
LONGFELLOW-SEWARD HEALTHY SENIORS PROGRAM
During the COVID-19 crisis we are still offering grocery help, and rides to medical appointments in the community, but we are changing the way we do it. We are looking for volunteers who could help with groceries, but it would be pick up(either curbside, or in the store) and delivery only. We are still looking for drivers for the few medical appointments which are being scheduled, However, we have changed the protocol to include social distancing and additional safety measures - as well as providing personal protection equipment. By offering to drive at this time you would be helping a senior stay independent and reduce the stress that comes with not only isolation but concern over safely getting the food and supplies they need.
