Grocery Store Trips

Shopping for groceries should be simple—but when transportation is a challenge, it can quickly become overwhelming.

Our Grocery Store Trips Program helps neighbors stay independent and well-nourished by providing weekly rides to local grocery stores. Each trip includes group transportation with a volunteer driver, who picks up several community members, brings them to the store, and drops them off safely at home after they shop.

It’s more than just a ride—it’s a chance to check in with friendly faces, stay connected, and get errands done without the stress of navigating winter roads, heavy bags, or limited transportation options.

To make each trip safe and supportive:

  • Drivers are background-checked volunteers trained to assist seniors and others who need a little extra help.

  • Participants complete a short intake so we can coordinate the best route and match neighbors who live nearby.

  • Rides are free and scheduled weekly based on volunteer availability.

  • Our team handles all the coordination—you just bring your shopping list.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a ride to the store—or if you’d like to help as a driver—we’d love to connect.
