Errands for the block
Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Ran an errand service for older neighbors — receipts and exact change on every run
Brief
Store runs and pickups for the older neighbors who already know you, with a page their adult children can read and trust: who you are, what you do, and a contact form your parents okayed. The money routine is spelled out on the page, because the routine is what earns the trust.
Personalize
- The neighbors. People who already know you or your family. This service does not go to strangers, and the page says who vouches for you.
- The errands. Store runs, package drop-offs, library returns. Prescription pickups only where the pharmacy allows a named third party, which the neighbor arranges with the pharmacy first.
- The money routine. The neighbor gives cash before the run; you bring back the receipt and exact change every time. You never hold anyone's card or PIN.
- What the page shows. Your name, your parents' awareness, your streets. No pay-me-online links of any kind.
Milestones
- Page live on day one: errand list, money routine, contact form.
- Routine reviewed with your parents.
- Page shared by mid-week with two or three neighbors who know you, and offered to their adult children if they want it.
- First errand run: cash before, receipt and exact change after, logged.
- Final README: runs made, what neighbors asked for most, how long a run takes.
