Received from Catherine Zinnel, Councilmember Brad Lander's District Director.
Councilmember Lander arranged for the Fairway shuttle, but people should contact Fairway directly for any logistical questions or concerns.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that starting tomorrow, Wednesday 6/26, Fairway supermarket is going to be running two free shuttles from the now closed Key Food store at 589 Prospect Avenue, between 10th and 11th Avenues, to the Fairway location in Red Hook. The first pick-up will be at 10am and the second will be at 1pm.
Riders will board a 40-seat school bus, have one and a half hours to shop, and have help getting groceries on and off the shuttle. Unfortunately Fairway cannot offer a handicap accessible vehicle at this time. If you have any questions about the shuttle, you can call Fairway at 347-750-1251, and speak with Viola Williams or Marcy Rosenblum.
Fairway is also willing to pick up groups of 10 or more anytime from Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 7pm, within a 5-mile radius of their Red Hook location. To make a free reservation, you can call Fairway at 347-750-1251, and speak with Viola Williams or Marcy Rosenblum.
While not a substitute for a sorely-needed local supermarket, Councilmember Lander is happy to have helped arrange a free shuttle from Windsor Terrace to Fairway, and continues to welcome involvement in the Windsor Terrace Community Grocery Carpool. If you're willing to drive a neighbor to a grocery store, or if you need a ride, please sign-up at bradlander.com/grocerycarpool or call 718-499-1090.
