The "Do you need a hand?" thread

[JessicaTam]

Ok, enough with the doom and gloom. I have started doing some shopping for friends who are in isolation. But I reckon as a community we can all do our bit.

So here is my challenge - If you are having to isolate and you need someone to grab some groceries for you, or you can do the grabbing for someone else, then post it here.

I live in Sale VIC, but I travel as far as Traralgon/Morwell/Moe for work. If you are stuck inside send me a PM (start a conversation).

Edit: Woolworths have priority delivery for those eligible. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/discover/priorityassistance
Thanks to @amaroo for the link.

I can be on the lookout for things in Adelaide and happy to post if needed.

 

[I love to travel]

I love the idea and happy to help. But how can we stop people ie newer members if this goes viral from taking advantage of it. I have lost my faith in human beings.

Fair point. Maybe only post if you have been a member since 1 January 2020?

Edit: Or only respond to someone who has been a member for that long?

I can recommend the shopping service that JessicaTam provides as it is us who she is buying for.

... and we don't need any toilet paper.

I'm available in Brisbane - I am still travelling to see clients but we are all taking precautions. So until there is a mandated shut-down, I'm available (particularly) northern suburbs. Not sure how the payment side of things go, but this is a fluid situation, we'll see what happens.
