Shopping for locals and prescription pickups for Old Marston
1 GoodGymer made their way to help their local community in Oxford.
- Wednesday, 29th of April 2020
- Led by Ben Foster
The young family I help do shopping and bits for locally as part of Oxford Together needed some food picking up before the young girl finished school so managed to get everything on the list for that yesterday (Tuesday). I will pick up some shopping bags from them next time as they have a few I can use. They were thankful.
An elderly neighbour up the hill towards Headington also needed some bread, milk, cheese plus others bits so managed to pick that up this morning. Handily, there was also a prescription pickup around the same time from Northway so picked that up along with some whole milk for them (they manage to go shopping perfectly fine but just needed a top up until they next go) and dropped it off. Another referral who I keep in contact with has managed to find delivery slots from Tesco so is doing well but asked if I could ring back every week or so just to make sure.
