Dial-A-Ride

Grocery Shopping Trips

Requests for grocery shopping can be made two (2) days in advance.

Grocery shopping trips are scheduled by neighborhood so that we can maximize the number of individuals served. We regret that we are unable to visit the preferred stores of all residents.

Shoppers are limited to four (4) shopping bags per household. Please mark your shopping bags for accurate identification.

There is a one hour period to complete your shopping needs. Shoppers who find it difficult to shop in the one hour allocation should consider making alternate shopping arrangements, such as home delivery. There are several grocery stores which provide this service at a minimal fee.

Drivers may carry groceries to the exterior door of the rider's home but they cannot assist shoppers indoors or upstairs.

We appreciate your cooperation.
