Store-to-Door Volunteer Opportunities

Store-to-Door is a nonprofit organization that provides grocery and prescription delivery services to the Twin Cities Metro area. Winter is their busiest season, increasing their client base by over 200 last year. They serve on average 1,300 clients per year, with their average client being a female aged 84 years.

Do you enjoy shopping? Walk with purpose, gain friends and help people stay independent. Please consider grocery shopping for the homebound elderly for 2-4 hours twice per month or on a weekly basis. Volunteer Shoppers work in partnership with five metro area Cub Food Stores to shop for clients' orders and prepare them for delivery. Store-to-Door paid staff deliver groceries directly to clients' homes. Volunteer Shoppers are needed at the St. Paul Midway Cub (T, W, Th, F), the Maplewood Cub Store (Th, F) and the Bloomington Cub Store (T, Th), with a minimum 3 month commitment.

Enjoy the telephone? Are you comfortable with computer on-line work? Please consider being a Volunteer Order Taker. Volunteers call two clients each week entering their order online into the S-t-D order database. Please consider this a one year commitment. This commitment helps you to know the client's grocery interests and provides stability. Each volunteer helps S-t_D serve an additional 4 clients (2 every other week). Online training module is available.
