In fact, I wonder if any of my young healthy DFW friends would be interested in forming a coalition to serve our community?
That sounds like a great idea. But I am in northern Michigan.
Great idea. We have used a “gro getter” for my elderly mom for several months.
Meals on Wheels is adapting by delivering meals without contact such as handshakes or hugs, distance keeping.
It sounds like a great idea, but who knows if they’ve either got the flu or this and they start doing this, and a few days later they start feeling off. All those folks the past week got exposed then.
If anyone does this, the best way is to leave the groceries on the doorstep, and have the folks like leave payment either through paypal, or put it in the mailbox or in betwen the storm door and house door when the person is coming over. A No-Contact dropoff is the safest.
Blessings to this person (is this you?)
What a wonderful idea.
We need more of this, all across our country.
Big mitzvah, blessings on you.
I saw this on Twitter last night. I could not sleep after hearing about the elderly woman in my hometown of Montclair NJ standing in the parking lot of the food store asking people if they would go in the store and shop for her because she was scared!It broke my heart!
So I lay awake thinking what I could do. I am on lockdown due to age and underlying health issue but I can organize!
I will contact our towns senior resource person and see if I can start a phone chain and try to enlist others to join. I also thought about the churches and our VFW and American Legion.
I am going post on our local FB page and enlist some of the younger crowd (30-45 year old bracket) to possibly shop for needed items for elderly people who cannot go out due to Chinese coronavirus. I can have a command center from home!
My fear is having someone with bad intentions who may take advantage. I have to iron out that issue.
