    Description

    Supermarketing for Seniors, an established community program since 1986, allows for 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.

    Private Group Details:

    • Group Size Range: 1 - 50+
    • Event can be held at a volunteer group location (e.g. office, park)
    • Donation Required
    • Private groups are welcome to organize a care package drive event for our seniors. We provide partners with a list of items needed. During the packing event, staff can share more information.
