Shopping Assistance

When you can’t get to the grocery store, and you would like someone to go for you, or when you want to shop for yourself, but would like a helper to come along Springwell’s Shopping Assistants can give you a hand.

SHOPPING ASSISTANTS FROM SPRINGWELL CAN:

Help you write your shopping list.
Go to the store for you, or go to the store with you.
Help you put away your groceries.
Run other brief shopping errands.
Bring you a receipt for your purchases.

Shopping Assistants are available weekly, bi-weekly, or as you need them.

Springwell Shopping Assistants do not handle more than $40 in cash or use your ATM card, buy alcohol for you, accept payment for their help, or manage your money.

There is no charge to have a Shopping Assistant.
