With the community need to engage in “Social Distancing”, this leaves seniors, those who are pregnant, and those with autoimmune disorders in the most vulnerable categories when needing to shop for necessary food and supplies.
As a result, several grocery stores have allocated an hour of their business day to these shoppers.
While this hour is typically from 8 to 9 AM, it is best to contact the store and confirm which day or days this takes place.
For example, Costco hosts their senior and disabled shopping hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Meanwhile, New Leaf Community Market offers their shopping hour five days a week Monday through Friday, and Ben Lomond Market on Wednesdays.
Shoppers who are not seniors, with compromised immune systems, or are pregnant are encouraged to shop after 9 AM on these days.
