Contact your local area on aging and your department of transportation. Many areas have paratransit services and you will need to fill out an application.
Googlelocal charities and start calling them. Where I live, you can get a free ride from a volunteer 2xs a month.
This forum is for caregivers of aging or ill family and we don't offer services. You will have to reach out to the above resources in your community. Good luck finding the best service for your needs.
I think that this is something you are going to have to explore in your own area with your own options. Do you have taxi and Uber and Lyft in your area? Do your stores make delivery after shopping or do the stores make delivery by phone or computer ordering? I know for my brother one of the main factors in deciding he would move to ALF was the fact he lived in Palm Springs; as he could no longer drive and didn't use computer or smart phones, he really had difficulty with shopping. Those who lived in his "village" sitation offered help but one hates to be dependent on others. I can only suggest you try and evaluate your own options. The need for ride services and for delivery raise the already bad expenses of food now exponentially. If you give the town and city you live in you may just have a Forum member who ALSO lives there stumble upon your post here, but that's unlikely. I sure do wish you luck. Hope you will update us on options and costs you find for your own area, as it might be of interests to others.
Nanacheryl, this is a research project for you. None of us can provide this information for your area w/o doing a lot of research.

Not all of the threads relate to your particular circumstances, but some do.
Your options could be public transit, small bus (point to point) transit, or even private services such as Lyft or Uber.
Another option is to contact your local Senior Center, and inquire what service options they might have. The one in my father's area leases 2 small buses, picks up residents and takes them to a grocery store, then returns at a given time for the return home. You would likely be riding with others, so if you're concerned about that in terms of Covid, this might not be an option.
It depends on where you live and the services available. In my town, the senior services have a bus to grocery store every Wednesday, volunteer organizations with volunteer drivers and a senior center with volunteer drivers. Call your local town information center.
