2. For neighbors who use the Yahoo listserv: impromptu grocery/pharmacy trips
Are you planning to go to a grocery or pharmacy and willing to pick up items for neighborsPlease post your intended trip to the listserv by emailing the listserv at washingtongrove.yahoogroups.com a couple of hours before (or even the night before) you head out. Include your phone number. Neighbors can then contact you directly to request items.
3. For all neighbors: matching requests for groceries or pharmacy pick-ups to volunteers
Washington Grove Cares will continue to match requests for groceries or pharmacy pick-ups to low-risk volunteers as soon as a volunteer is available (often the same day).
