Volunteer Grocery Shoppers provide a vital service in helping to enhance the quality of life for Holocaust survivors living in our community, helping to ensure they have access to essential food items while also providing companionship and support for this vulnerable community.

Responsibilites include establishing a friendly rapport with clients to understand their preferences and any dietary restrictions. Coordinate with clients to create a detailed grocery list based on their needs; discussing any specific brands or products they prefer.

Volunteers deliver groceries to clients' home, ensuring items are handled with care; assisting with unpacking and organizing groceries if needed.

Committment is a few hours per week, twice a month (minimum) -- depending on client needs and schedule.
