I'm out of my necessary home/health care supplies. Who can I contact for help?

I am a 61 year old female on SSD and I live in home with roommates who are often gone long periods of time. I have county transportation available but I must I must make arrangements 7 days in advance. I can find no errand/deliver service in my area and I am out of necessary home/health care supplies and cannot wait 7 days. Is there a caregiver who knows this area and could advise me on persons to contact for help? I am in North Brevard County, Florida. Thank you.

Meant disruption caused by hurricane.

In my area there are some pharmacies that offer delivery. I do not mean to sound cold, but can you plan ahead?
For example my mom' a HMO will deliver meds a few days before they are gone, I order them as soon as available, over a few months ypu develop a cushion of a few pills, maybe even a week. I do this to ensure mom has her full complement of pills for at least 2 weeks regardless of what week in the cycle. Not being greedy, but in Florida you need to plan for a possible logistics dosruption
