Community Boards And Transportation Assistance
Getting to the grocery store safely is half the battle for many retirees who no longer drive. Stores located in dense senior communities often build specific infrastructure to help you get your groceries home safely.
Perk 9: Retailer-Sponsored Transportation Assistance
Several community-focused grocery stores operate complimentary shuttle vans for older adults who live within a specific radius of the store.
You simply call the store ahead of time to schedule a pickup, do your shopping, and the driver helps you load your groceries and takes you back home.
If your local store does not sponsor its own van, check the customer service desk. Managers frequently keep lists of local volunteer driver networks or subsidized transit passes.
If you cannot find local options at the store level, the Eldercare Locator provides a free, federally funded service to connect you with community transportation programs specifically designed for seniors in your zip code.
I don’t qualify for these specials because I am on disability and not Social security, witch I feel that is unfair to people that are on disability we can not work we don’t get SNAP nothing, we need help just as much as all the other people.
Great tips on saving at the Grocery Store! Thank you, Darlene
Most of this nobody is eligible for would like to see the percentage that qualified, when they applied.
I can’t even find the article to read because it’s cluttered with so many advertisements!!!! That’s so annoying!!!!
