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.
