Newspaper Deliveryman Delivers Groceries Free of Charge to Senior Residents on his Route

Living through a pandemic is difficult, but humans are showing up for each other and offering Support. Companies have stepped up to create the medical supplies desperately needed for healthcare workers, a wonderful woman who was already helping the homeless went above and beyond, and some people are helping others by caring for their pets. Another man, named Greg Dailey and his family are another example of exemplary humans being kind to others.

Dailey works as a newspaperman in New Jersey, so he’s used to driving around and throwing newspapers out the window. When an elderly woman, whose immunity is compromised asked him to please drop it off closer to the house so that she doesn’t go far, he had a wonderful idea. It struck him that if they can’t go too far from their homes, how will they get their groceries or the things they need.

He left a note in the newspaper the next day for the people on his route saying: “My name is Greg Dailey and I deliver your newspaper every morning. I would like to offer my services — free of charge — to anyone who needs groceries.” His phone was off the hook. He and his family are taking orders and now when he delivers newspapers, he leaves the groceries for the elderly or immunocompromised people of his community on their porch.

His kindness means everything to people who are worried for their lives and the world during uncertain times. And he is appreciated deeply. An 85-year-old woman who has been helped by him tells CBS News, “He is one of the finest people in the world.”
