In partnership with Giant Foods, Harris Teeter and Safeway, Senior Services of Alexandria provides a grocery shopping and delivery program to seniors who are 60+ living in the City of Alexandria. Through the Groceries to Go Program, screened volunteers deliver groceries year-round, every other week. Groceries are ordered based off the grocery recipient’s personal shopping list. There are no delivery fees, and no minimum order requirements.

Our volunteers shop for your groceries and then deliver them to your home and into your kitchen, and, if requested to do so, will put groceries away and loosen lids as needed.  Through this program, SSA volunteers provide a vital link to the community and outside world for seniors who otherwise have limited mobility. This program is an important addition to SSA’s larger Senior Nutrition Program, with the intent of increasing senior safety, health and nutrition.
