The Task Friend

Shopping Assistance & Personal Shopping Support

Shopping is something we all have to do, but it isn’t always easy to do alone. Whether you’re purchasing groceries for the week, furnishing your first apartment, shopping for a home improvement project, or simply trying to get through a busy store with young children, The Task Friend is here to make the experience easier.

Unlike delivery services or traditional personal shoppers, we don’t shop for you—we shop with you. We meet you at your chosen store and work alongside you throughout your shopping trip, providing practical assistance, organization, encouragement, and an extra set of hands whenever you need them.

Please note: The Task Friend does not provide transportation. We meet clients at the shopping location, and your hourly session can continue at your home afterward if you’d like assistance unloading, organizing, assembling, washing, folding, or putting away your purchases.

A Shopping Partner for Every Stage of Life

Everyone’s shopping needs are different. Some people need help navigating a large warehouse store, while others simply appreciate having another person with them to make shopping less overwhelming. Our personalized hourly shopping assistance is designed to fit your unique situation.

Whether you’re a college student, busy parent, working professional, retiree, or someone recovering from an injury, we’re here to help make shopping more manageable and enjoyable.

Grocery Shopping Assistance

Large grocery trips can be exhausting, especially when shopping for an entire family or navigating a busy warehouse store. The Task Friend can accompany you while you shop, help organize your cart, lift lighter items within our service guidelines, compare products, and make the experience less stressful.

Whether you’re shopping at Costco, Walmart, Target, your neighborhood grocery store, or another favorite retailer, we’ll work alongside you to help complete your shopping efficiently.

Afterward, your session can continue at home where we can help unload groceries, sort refrigerated and pantry items, organize your purchases, and put everything away.

  • Weekly grocery shopping
  • Warehouse club shopping
  • Pantry restocking
  • Household essentials shopping
  • Seasonal grocery preparation

Clothing & Personal Shopping

Shopping for clothing is often easier with another person nearby. Whether you need someone to carry shopping bags, offer a second opinion, or simply stay with your belongings while you try on outfits, The Task Friend provides friendly, judgment-free support throughout your shopping trip.

We can walk with you throughout the store, help locate items, compare options, organize purchases, and make your shopping experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

When you return home, we can continue helping by removing tags, washing new clothing, organizing closets, folding your new clothing items, or putting everything away so your purchases are ready to enjoy.

Home Improvement & Project Shopping

Starting a home project often begins with a long shopping list. Whether you’re updating a room, organizing your garage, planting a garden, or decorating for the holidays, we’re happy to accompany you while shopping for supplies.

We can assist as you shop at stores such as Lowe’s, Home Depot, garden centers, craft stores, or home décor retailers, helping you stay organized and making the trip more productive.

After returning home, your session can continue as we help unpack purchases, organize supplies, assemble small furniture, decorate, or assist with your home project.

  • Home improvement supplies
  • Garden center shopping
  • Seasonal decorations
  • Home décor shopping
  • Project materials and organizational supplies

Shopping Assistance During Recovery or Limited Mobility

Shopping can become much more challenging when you’re recovering from surgery, managing an injury, or experiencing temporary mobility limitations. Whether you’re using a shopping scooter, wearing a sling, recovering on crutches, or simply finding everyday shopping more difficult than usual, we’re here to provide practical support.

We’ll accompany you throughout the store, help reach items, carry shopping bags, organize purchases, and make the experience less physically demanding while allowing you to remain actively involved in selecting the items you need.

More Than Just Shopping

Your shopping trip doesn’t have to end when you leave the store. Many clients choose to continue their hourly session at home, where The Task Friend can help with tasks such as:

  • Unloading shopping bags
  • Putting away groceries
  • Organizing pantry items
  • Washing new clothing
  • Removing tags and packaging
  • Folding and organizing purchases
  • Assembling small household items
  • Organizing closets or storage areas

This seamless transition from shopping to home support saves time and helps ensure your purchases are put to use instead of sitting in bags for days.
