Store To Door

It's a very low cost organization.  It's sort of a volunteer organization but what it does is it shops for people that can’t get out like for people that are shut in or people with disability.  They also help aging people that can't get out and shop for their groceries.  I don't use them but I know some people that do.  Most of the people that do works there are volunteers and they also do have some paid stuff for delivery and administration.  What they do is they have a delivery area that is mostly in the Minneapolis, St. Paul and first year suburbs.  People volunteer in all different areas of the city and shop at cub grocery.  They take orders over the phone and some of them shop at the cub grocery stores early in the morning to fill all those orders.  It's a really neat program and organization for people that can't get out.  They do charge a nominal fee for those who can afford it.  My wife is a volunteer for them a couple of days a week.  She does the order taking and gets familiar with the people she takes the orders.  If they are real sick or something and don't answer the phone for a little bit, then sometimes it generates an additional call or two to make sure that everybody is okay.  She takes calls in Tuesdays and shops on Thursdays.
