OUR MISSION

As teenagers, we realize that we are fortunate to be at relatively low risk for experiencing the severe symptoms associated with the COVID-19 virus. However, there are many older and immunocompromised members of our community that have to live in constant fear about the threats that contracting the coronavirus can have on their health.

We became acutely aware of the unprecedented circumstances that affect the daily lives of the citizens of our country, the state of New York, and our local community. It was easy to become scared and lose sight of the needs of others as we feared for our own immediate safety.

As we ventured out into our local grocery stores to run basic errands for our own families, it became apparent that there were still many people in the “high-risk” category that were completing similar errands that could potentially have a much greater impact on their health. These people had no option but to pursue these activities themselves.

In response to these new challenges that our community was faced with, we decided to create a delivery service in which we perform the daily errands that those in the “high-risk” category (or those who feel uncomfortable leaving their house) would otherwise be completing under normal circumstances. By doing this, we hope to mitigate the risks affiliated with these basic tasks.

Although we do not profit from our services, we do encourage people to contribute a four percent donation on top of their orders that will go directly towards contributing to the Montefiore Health System COVID-19 Foundation. These funds that are collected from all of our chapters, will fund the 3-D printing of face shields for doctors in New York City, our home-state, and the epicenter of the CoronaVirus Pandemic in the United States.

We have put in place procedures following the CDC’s recommended guidelines that will ensure the safety of our volunteers in all of our chapters, as well as the clients actively participating in our services. We leave the items that are picked up at your doorstep, and we will be wearing masks and gloves that will be changed periodically as we complete errands so our deliveries require no contact whatsoever.

We are happy to have the opportunity to serve our community in a positive way and thus we urge you to contact us with any errands you need completed, no matter how large or small. If you are aware of anyone who would benefit from a service such as this one, please share our message with them and as many other people in our community as possible who are in the “high-risk” category.
