Many of our members find it difficult to grocery shop due to mobility or health concerns.
We need volunteers to pick up a grocery list from a member, go shopping at the grocery store for them, and deliver the groceries back to their home.
This is a low-contact volunteer opportunity.

Mission Statement
Village Connections' mission is to create a supportive community for older adults to age in place by helping them stay connected, active, and independent. To accomplish this we must promote the well-being of an ever-growing membership through a network of local volunteers and activities.
Description
Village Connections is a non-profit organization serving members age 50 and over who live in several adjacent historic neighborhoods of Columbus, Ohio including German Village, Schumacher Place, The Brewery District, and much of Merion Village and Downtown. We strive to create a supportive community that allows our members to stay connected, active, and independent as they age while remaining in their homes and neighborhoods. We provide vetted volunteers, from the neighborhoods we serve, to assist members with rides to the doctor, grocery shopping, yard clean up, light home maintenance, etc., and provide a social outlet to avoid being isolated in their homes. We have monthly lunches, social events, and outings to help our members reengage and thrive in the villages they are such an important part of.
