“In light of how times have changed, we have decided to change the way we do things a bit,” Paisley said in a video on Instagram on March 17. “We’re mobilizing a group of volunteers to deliver one week’s groceries to elderly people that should not be out shopping on their own in these times.”

He added that the store had a list of seniors who will receive service and that they will be “following all protocols to make sure we’re doing this right.”

The Store is currently accepting walk-in customers who bring ID and either proof of income, proof of residence, or statement of unemployment. The Store operates as a free grocery store that serves customers in need for a one-year period as they work toward self-sufficiency.
