Bring your own bags! Such a small thing but easy to forget when you're already stressed. Thanks for the reminder.
It really is easy to overlook, so we made sure to highlight it, arriving prepared with your own grocery bags makes the whole visit a little smoother when you're already dealing with a lot.
Terry B.Seriously, I almost forgot bags the first time I went somewhere like this. Maybe keep a couple folded up in your coat pocket so you always have them ready.
Good to know about the home delivery option. A lot of people who need help most can't just get up and go somewhere.
Absolutely, that's exactly why the home delivery option exists, available to Richmond Hill and Thornhill residents who are unable to travel due to disability or a medical condition, with drop-offs on Wednesday and Friday mornings.
Linda M.Exactly. My neighbour has mobility issues and had no idea this was even an option. Glad they offer it, just wish more people knew about it.
