Filling up the pantry
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Southwark.
- Friday, 17th of April 2020
Ms. G lives less than 2 minutes walk from Morrisons, however, since she is part of the at-risk group she has not been able to go out herself for some weeks now. Therefore, when I met her to collect the money and the list; there was an extensive shopping list waiting to be tackled.
Once I was in Morrisons, I looked at the list and tried to bunch items in clusters as it was in an unordered fashion. I went up and down aisles trying to identify whether certain items would be in this aisle or not. Eventually, after a good 30 minute shop and missing out on four items (out of 30), I joined the ever-growing queue.
Luckily, Ms. G's place was close by as I hauled over 10 kilos worth of food and drink back to her place (up the stairs and into her flat). She was ever-so grateful. Hopefully, these supplies will keep her going for some time and I hope she requests our services again.
