One teenager in Portland, Oregon, is helping high-risk senior citizens around his state to get groceries amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Neel Jain, 16, said the idea came to him when he offered to buy groceries for his grandmother.
“She has asthma and she’s in the at-risk category, and I was glad to help her shop,” he told TODAY Parents. “But then I realized that there are many other people in the community who don’t have that family support.”
In mid-April, Jain launched PDX Concierge, a shopping and delivery service operated by high school students on a completely volunteer basis. Now, seniors in seven cities in Oregon can reach out to the group for free grocery delivery.
Regina Brody, 73, said the PDX Concierge service has been extremely helpful while she and her husband quarantine in an effort to stay safe from the virus. (today.com)
