Supermarketing for Seniors, an established community program since 1986, allows for an increasing number of seniors to live independently. Our volunteer shoppers are trained and caring people who will meet our seniors, collect their grocery lists, and complete their shopping. Volunteers typically complete one weekly shop at a mutually convenient time for the senior that they are serving.
Volunteers are required to undergo a brief training and background check to participate.
