available from H-E-B in partnership
with Favor Delivery, simple, low-cost solution that gives seniors
access to their very own personal shopper by phone, allowing them to get
essential food and supplies delivered to them, while remaining in the comfort
and safety of their home. “To further promote social distancing, Runners
will leave all orders placed through the Senior Support Line at the customer’s
doorstep, eliminating close personal interaction.”
All delivery and service
fees are waived for the first 30 days of the program.
Further helping Texans, orders will include a $10 tip, which goes
entirely to the Favor Runner, who will personally shop and deliver items.
H-E-B and Favor will
staff its Senior Support phone line with volunteers from both companies to
accept and process orders over the phone . Built by the Favor engineering team,
this system allows our company volunteers to process orders remotely from
across the state. Seniors can also place their orders on Favor’s
website, or by downloading the Favor
app and searching for “H-E-B”.
To start, the Senior Shopping Support Line will be available
from more than 240 H-E-B locations where Favor operates, with plans to quickly
expand this service. To find out more

If you have a homebound veteran in your organization that
needs help with food, kindly send me their Name, Address, and Phone number. I
will compile a list and submit it to the food bank to get them help ASAP. At
this time, this is only for Homebound Coastal Bend veterans. The
faster I get this information, the faster we can get the food to the veteran.
This was put together by Sylvia Alvarado AAA/ADRC Options Counselor
And for those of you on Facebook, there is a group called "Resources Corpus Christi" that is updated often throughout the day and shows which local stores are in-stock. Excellent information for supplies!
