Ansonia Resident Volunteers to Pick Up Your Groceries and Prescriptions During Covid-19 Crisis…

With the Covid-19 virus bringing our state to a near standstill and mandates that call for citizens not to gather with more than 10 people and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance, our seniors are the most vulnerable to be affected, said Ansonia resident John Izzo.  

These core group of Valley citizens have had to make major adjustments to their daily lives that makes it difficult to do the simplest things that many of us take for granted, like a trip to the local market to do their weekly grocery shopping, or to pick up their prescriptions from the pharmacy.     

I feel those of us that are capable must do our share to help our seniors during these difficult times.  Therefore, I am volunteering my time to do the grocery shopping or pick up prescriptions from local supermarkets and pharmacies for any of our elderly residents over the age of 65 in the towns of Ansonia, Derby, Seymour and Shelton.  

With state-mandated closures of most businesses, there are and will be very limited hours and locations to shop for groceries and I want to do what I can to assist our senior citizens for this purpose.    

These are not typical times. In just a few short months, the coronavirus has led to the creation of a new language, one with phrases like “social distancing” and “self-isolation.”  While public health officials work diligently to keep all citizens abreast of safety measures and precautions that are currently in place, our elderly population is being affected and the ones most in need during this crisis.

We are facing unprecedented times and we must do whatever we can to keep our seniors safe. ] 

There is no charge for this service, and anyone needing help with their grocery shopping or prescription pick up can email me on jizzo9531@gmail.com., or call 860-929-8715 for more information.
