thanks for posting this, Sandy, this is very valuable info. Social service
agencies usually have lists of places like this in the various areas.
Church groups & Synagogues also often have lists of places to help, as well
as volunteers who might help. Did everybody get my email "Grocery Delivery
For All" that I sent an hour or so ago? If not, please look in your bulk
folder for it -- I give a link where anyone can order groceries on the web
for free delivery, no matter where you live. If you didn't get it through
the list, please send me an email & I'll send it to you personally.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
take care -- Michelle

Subject: Re: [TMIC] grocery delivery
I have not joined in on this since going to the grocery store is still one
of those things I CAN do one day a week. But in many Wisconsin communities
they have a program called "Market Basket" or something like that.
If I understand it correctly....you get a large box of groceries at a
discount and there are volunteers who deliver them. I think its set up
that you can pick them up for yourself. But when I was looking at it a few
years ago they were looking for volunteers who would not only belong to
the program but also deliver the boxes to those who could not get out.
Also...in some areas, more everyday, there are CSAs. Those are Community
Supported Agriculture farms that grow vegies and fruits for members who
pay up front and get a box of fresh produce every week. Its like having
your own garden without the dirt, sweat, blisters and bending. The ones
around cities I understand deliver to your door...more for working people
who like to come home and find a cooler with fresh vegies on the back
steps than disabled folks who cant travel...but you get the deal.
My two cents,
Sandy in hot, hot, too hot Wisconsin.
Did I mention its rather hot today?
