Offer support

How it works

1. Sign in and apply to volunteer.
2. When we know someone in your area needs essentials, we'll contact you to check if you're available.
3. We’ll give you the name, address and phone number of the person who needs essentials.
4. Contact the person to arrange a time to collect their gift card and shopping list.
5. Go to Co-op and buy the shopping they requested.
6. Deliver the shopping to the doorstep of the person.
