Opportunity Details

Grocery Shop for Homebound Seniors – Hollywood Fred Meyer (all ages) *Hands On*

Hands On Managed projects offer you an opportunity to join a group of volunteers on a done-in-a-day project led by a Hands On Volunteer Leader

Store to Door is a local nonprofit that supports independent living for Portland area seniors and people with disabilities by providing an affordable, personal, volunteer-based grocery shopping and delivery service.
 


UPDATE: After October 2019 Store to Door grocery shopping sign ups will transition to a different site: http://www.storetodooroforegon.volunteerhub.com
(New logins will be required)


 

Do you like to grocery shop? Would you enjoy helping seniors and people with disabilities maintain their independence? Join us to grocery shop for those who are homebound. Think of it as a fun in-store scavenger hunt for a great cause!

What: Volunteer grocery shoppers receive a client’s grocery list and walk around the store finding each item. At times, the volunteer will need to call a client to ask clarifying questions about missing items or substitutions. Volunteer shoppers are not responsible for purchasing or delivering groceries, just shopping and having fun!

When: Every Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 am – 10:30 am
Parking: Located in the Fred Meyer parking lot
