Working for Illinois Caucus

State Rep. Monica Bristow (D-Alton) is highlighting senior shopping hours at grocery stores during the COVID-19 outbreak. Senior shopping hours provide for an opportunity for seniors and at-risk populations to pick up their groceries with less risk for exposure. 

“Vulnerable populations like seniors and those with pre-existing or underlying conditions are the most at risk during this outbreak,” Bristow said. “Thankfully, many local grocery stores are providing services like curbside grocery pickup and senior shopping hours for vulnerable groups to safely shop for essentials.”

Bristow is highlighting these stores that are offering hours set aside for only senior and/or customers with underlying health conditions that may be more at risk:

“I encourage seniors and those with preexisting or underlying conditions that make them vulnerable to COVID-19 to take advantage of these shopping hours to keep themselves safe. Shoppers should also limit their trips to every one or two weeks and shop alone if possible,” Bristow said. “Everyone should continue following the health and safety guidelines set forth by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control to help protect themselves, their loved ones and those around them, and be sure to check in on those in vulnerable populations.”
