How It Works

The premise is simple: Become a Volunteer or “Shopping Angel”, and receive text alerts with requests from people in need; parents, nonprofit organizations, healthcare workers, neighbors who have had their income interrupted, or people with underlying medical conditions. Help

If you choose to accept the request based off the message: items, zipcode, and local landmark, you will be connected directly with that person to coordinate dropoff time and location. We understand that volunteers will not always have a trip planned for the day, and if you decline the request; That’s OK! The assistance request message will then be sent to the next volunteer down the line and keep moving down the line until an available volunteer can take on the request.

Health Guidelines

We require our volunteers to practice contactless deliveries to the greatest extent possible. Contactless deliveries allow items to be delivered at a doorstep, keep the volunteer back to a distance greater than 6 feet away while verifying receipt of the delivery, and maintaining all communication electronically. This eliminates the need for close contact between volunteers and the person getting the delivery.
