Reimbursing NEXT Village volunteers or others who pick up your groceries is easy with mobile applications like Venmo, PayPal, and Apple Pay. Most major banks also have a service that allows you to securely send payments to individuals. If you have a smartphone or computer, you can use these services to securely send money while minimizing contact with other people.

This is safer alternative to handing a volunteer cash before they go to the store and it is much easier for volunteers! During COVID-19, it allows you to social distance more thoroughly because volunteers can drop off your bags by your door without needing to exchange anything with you.

Emily Carter, a NEXT Village volunteer, will walk you through a few of the different options for mobile payments. If you need individual help after this workshop, we have many tech volunteers ready to assist you!
