your profile shows you are in Albuquerque... why don't you post there in the New Mexico forum also to see if a local might want to help?
i have a buddy in albuquerque who may can help, but as i know you are in a large city, someone close to you might be best?
so post in NM forum, and if you don't have any luck, i'll set up contact info w/ you and my bud to see if the two of you are able to work out something

good luck

I'm in SoCal and on Next Door. In the last week in my area there have been many posting offers to help out people that can't get to stores, pharmacies etc on their own. Hopefully your neighbors will have something similar.

What if someone goes to pick up my groceries,
and doesn't come back to me?

I guess I would be looking at the names of the people who do the offering to help. Since I get a daily digest of postings from Next Door, I see the names of people who post regularly. These are people in my neighborhood who I may also know or see around the area. I may have even interacted with them via exchanging surplus fruit, finding their lost dog, going to their garage sale, etc. So I would look for names that are at least familiar to me before handing over any money.

Next Door is not just people from anywhere posting, you are limited to seeing posts from specific areas right around your home. I don't know the actual distance but I'd say just a couple of miles around me. Of course that doesn't mean you don't have a scam artist living on the next block, so you have to use some common sense.
