This is a remote area with many people are total hermits by choice-so both my parish church and the Methodist church out here have volunteers who take those who don’t drive or have a vehicle/are disabled to get groceries at either the nearest grocery or to the big box-their choice-on the weekends. In the 6-road area where I live, there are 10 of us who take turns taking our neighbors who are disabled or without a vehicle to buy groceries once per week-I take them with me on my grocery day, if they want to go-if they don’t/can’t go to the store, then one of us will take their list and get their stuff-either way, we carry in their groceries and help put them away if they want us to-we call it just looking out for each other...
