Update on Shopping Cart Project

By Becky Fitzgerald on September 21, 2016

Several weeks ago, the possibility of purchasing more grocery-style carts was presented to us. We currently have five of these carts and an anticipated need for five more. The projected total cost is $1,250.

These grocery-style carts allow the user to keep shopping bags at table height, thus making it easy to roll the cart to the kitchen counter and unload shopping bags or other items without needing to bend over to lift the bags. Some residents also use these carts to tote supplies from one place to another within the apartment building.

The five carts currently in use were funded through resident donations. With that same generous spirit, we were invited to help fund the purchase of an additional five grocery-style carts. In response, $560 has been received.  

If you would like to help complete this project, please place your cash or check in a sealed envelope and leave it at the front desk. If you submit cash, please include your name and address. Checks should be made out to Meadowlark Hills Foundation with “cart project” written on the memo line. All donations are tax-deductible.
