WELLNESS HOME DELIVERY PROGRAM
It is important to us to assist the people in our community who are not always able to physically be in the community. Free local contactless delivery is available to those with health/mobility restrictions. If you live within walking distance, we can run a book over whenever. If you’re a bit further away, we bring a few at a time. If you live very far away, we offer a reduced shipping fee. Contact us for more information.
