This program is so busy it now takes up to three volunteers to deliver each Wednesday. Participants call in their grocery orders to Hansen’s, a Hansen’s employee does all the shopping, and then an Interfaith volunteer delivers the groceries and takes the payment back to Hansen’s. This takes one to two hours.
