the frail, elderly, and disabled to support their independent living.

Store to Door needs volunteers to call clients ("I am a caller" says Laura Hill MLIS '96 who encourages other alum to volunteer) and enter their order online website. This is great for someone who is able to use a computer and talk on the phone at the same time!! Reportedly there are order-taking volunteers who actually live in other states.

Store to Door also needs volunteer shoppers, who fill and deliver orders. Shoppers meet at 6 a.m. at certain Twin Cities Cub stores, armed with print-outs of the orders from clients.
