Examples of Seniors Waiting for Help
These Seniors Need Help! (Just a couple of examples - there are many others all across Allegheny County!)
Anna is 88-years-old and lives with her dog in Shaler. She needs a little help with grocery shopping and enjoys talking as well (she has some great stories to share!). Anna likes to shop in the afternoon and really likes the Giant Eagle in McIntyre Square because they have electric scooters with baskets.
Beatrice lives in Etna and needs help with grocery shopping and going to the food pantry in Etna. She gets around quite well but has a hard time with her cane and carrying things. She likes to shop at the Giant Eagle in the Waterworks because that's where she gets her prescriptions filled. The food pantry in Etna takes place the third Thursday every month, and Beatrice normally likes to go in the evening. This would be about a 90-minute time commitment for a volunteer. Grocery shopping assistance could take place just about any day that works for you.
