Deliver groceries with Concrete Jungle

During the COVID-19 epidemic, the need for food among the elderly and vulnerable is higher than ever. 

Because of the threat of quarantine, grocery store shelves are often going empty which means there’s less excess for food pantries. The threat of quarantine is also facing food pantry clients who are looking for extra food as well.  Some of our partners are even facing closing if they can not get substantial food to support their clients. 

Concrete Jungle has started a grocery delivery service for food pantry clients who are quarantined or who have higher health risks.  Each day we get more calls from clients who need to stay home in order to stay safe.  They’re having a hard time meeting the volume of calls we’re receiving because of the limited supply of our food pantry partners. Can you help us provide food to our neighbors in need who are quarantined?

They’re looking for volunteers to team up with a family to provide groceries for one or more weeks.  This means you would purchase groceries and deliver to the family’s house, with no contact to protect you and the recipients.

A note from A.G. Rhodes:

Health officials project challenges in the upcoming weeks with increasing COVID-19 cases expected nationwide, and we are taking difficult measures to further minimize risks. We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support, but out of an abundance of caution and to reduce the amount of physical items coming in and out of our building, as well as non-essential personnel coming up to our front door, we request that you NOT send mail, packages or deliveries to the A.G. Rhodes homes at this time. Please understand that we expect this to be a temporary situation, and we will post updates as necessary. Below are ways that you can continue supporting our residents and staff during these trying times. 

One way you can help is by emailing notes, letters and cards of appreciation to residents at A.G. Rhodes. You may mail them to the activities departments of one or all of our three locations listed below, and they will distribute them. 

You can send encouraging pictures, letters and drawings virtually by emailing them to waystohelp@agrhodes.org.
