> As we all work on ways to isolate, one concern is how we as blind persons can safely grocery shop while maintaining social distancing. There are a number of options available for those who are skilled with technology, such as online delivery from Smiths or Sprouts, or using apps such as Instacart or Postmates.  However, not everyone is comfortable using such technology. One long-time Federation member today alerted me to another option, specifically GoGoGroceries.

> GoGoGroceries is available from GoGoGrandparent, the ride sharing service that connects riders with Uber and Lyft through a regular telephone. While GoGoGroceries is more expensive, it is an option for those who are unable to order online or through a smartphone. You also do not need to be a grandparent. Tonia and I have signed up for GoGoGrandparent just in case our smartphones were ever forgotten, lost, or stolen. I have used GoGoGrandparent once, and it works well.
