Hello, Weld County, Colorado!

60+ Ride wants to let you know that, in partnership with the Area Agency on Aging/State Unit on Aging, United Way, Weld Community Foundation, King Soopers, WalMart, and  Weld Food Bank, we have started 60+ Grocery & Rx, a volunteer delivery program in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Information follows for clients, volunteers, and donors. Please pass this information on to all who may benefit from it!

• If you are 60 or older and in need of grocery or prescription delivery, please call (970) 702-6413 9am-4pm Monday through Friday to have a staff member discuss your options and place an order with your help.
• There are no income restrictions for eligibility, you simply need to be 60 or older and live in Weld County.
• Deliveries will be made from WalMart and King Soopers, depending on location, as well as Weld Food Bank for those who qualify.
• We will do our best to accommodate payment options, but credit and debit cards are strongly preferred, when possible.
• We will gladly use clients’ EBT cards at WalMart locations with the clients’ cooperation and written permission.
• If you are in need of basic necessities and are unable to pay for them at this time, please talk with the staff person answering the phone when you call. We have funding for those with extreme needs! In addition, there is Weld Food Bank Emergency box delivery available for those who qualify.
• After your order has been placed by you and the 60+ Ride staff member, you will be given the day and time window to expect delivery as chosen from times offered on the online grocery program. The delivery is typically 2 to 7 days out, so please plan ahead!
• You will receive a phone call from your volunteer delivery driver shortly before the groceries will be placed outside, near a front door. To minimize contact you will be asked to remain in your home until the volunteer is back in his/her car. Please wave to your volunteer to thank them, as they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and wallets, at some risk to their own health!
• Background checks will have been completed on all volunteers.
• This new program is up and running with our first deliveries made on March 24th, but we are still seeking volunteers in some areas outside of Greeley-Evans.
• Please call 970-702-6413 if you have disposable gloves, masks, or disinfecting wipes to donate for our volunteers’ use.
• Please call 970-702-6413 if you would like to volunteer to deliver groceries in your area.
• Volunteer delivery drivers will not handle payment.
• Volunteers will stay in their cars other than to load Weld Food Bank boxes (outside) and to put groceries on clients’ porches while clients wait inside their homes.
• Volunteers should plan for the delivery process to take approximately two to three hours, though the time may vary.
• Upon request, volunteers will be given disposable gloves to be worn from the time they reach the pick-up site until they have made their last delivery.
• Upon request, volunteers will be given a disinfecting wipe when they arrive to pick up groceries. The wipe is to be used to clean car surfaces they have touched during the pick-up and delivery process once deliveries are complete, just before removing and disposing of gloves.

Thank you, be blessed, and be well!
