Yingling Highlights Senior Shopping Hours

ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. – To protect residents that are most vulnerable to the novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), state Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, is raising awareness for special shopping hours at local grocery stores.

“It is vital that we show compassion to those individuals most at risk of this serious disease,” Yingling said. “Our senior citizens and others that are high-risk need to be able to get essentials like groceries and cleaning supplies. That’s why several local stores are hosting these special shopping times.”

Special shopping hours are specially designated shopping times for at-risk populations such as senior citizens. Yingling is highlighting local grocery stores participating in special shopping hours, such as ALDI, located at 74 W. Rollins Rd. in Round Lake.

“I implore any residents that are at an increased health risk of COVID-19 to take advantage of these special shopping hours to protect yourself and shop safely,” Yingling said. “During difficult times like these, we need to look out for one another.”
