Extra food purchasing

[Biscusting]

Don’t know what to do for the best here. Neighbour A is in the vulnerable category (type 2 diabetes and asthmatic) he lives alone and I have been picking up things for him when I shop and leaving them at his doorstep.
He messages me with a list, and I get what I can from it. Now this has been fine, but another neighbour has just messaged me and asked if I can pick up extras for neighbour A as she apparently has been doing it but now can’t as she is self isolating due to a cough.
So both of us have been collecting for neighbour A. However the things he has been messaging me for have been, in my opinion a bit excessive (three chickens, 3 packs of biscuits, cake, chocolate, x2 24 mutlibags of crisps.) I have been delivering weekly, but obviously not with this volume.

Neighbour A has not long messaged me with an even bigger list and helpful neighbour is now asking if I can get somethings for her.

I really can’t shop for all this food, as it’s serval times over what I would buy for my own family of four.

I can’t just leave them though. Do I just buy a few things and leave them at the door and say tough luck?

Look for a volunteer group in your local area. I'm sure there will be someone who can help out too.

Oh and give them a list of local businesses who are delivering food too.

Find local groups that are helping vulnerable people. Explain that the new restrictions mean you can't buy that many things now.

Otherwise you'll end up upping the risk for you by having to go to the shops multiple times during the week.

If neighbour A is a diabetic, he shouldn't be scoffing biscuits, cake and chocolate.
Bugger all nutrition in crisps, apart from yet more carbs, fat and salt.

I think they're taking the mick. We've dropped bread and milk at neighbours door and I've included biscuits etc but they wouldn't ever give me a shopping list!!

Well at first I thought maybe he wanted to stock up a bit, so that he would need less further down the line. Seems it’s not the case.
I do worry for his health, it’s several ready meals, and lots of junk type food with no veg or fruit whatsoever.

I’ve looked at local groups, but they seem a bit chaotic and there have been some scams circulating which worry me.

Both should have prepped for this before, so I'd prioritize fresh produce only. If you can find any local support groups, leave them details with the shop.

Also, shops have restrictions, we had to share three carrots and three bananas with my Mum last week. I've offered to shop for two elderly people, half hoping they won't take me up on it now. It's a nightmare keeping our stuff separate from Mums and sharing, let alone others.

I buy for the elderly and I get whatever they ask no matter what kind of junk and rubbish it is. Even they complain about gaining weight. I know the people I buy for often ask for extra because they are scared if others can’t shop for them anymore so like to build up a few supplies.
