Red River Senior Citizens are given priority shopping for food and other necessities by four local merchants.  Shane G. Hubbard, Director Red River Parish Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness (OHSEP) said, “I met with the four main stores in Coushatta over the last two days  individually and expressed the importance of limiting the exposure of COVID19 to our senior citizens. These four stores are Rivertown Market, Dollar General, Maxway and Family Dollar.”

Hubbard said, “All stores agreed to allow this generously.  This will help in two ways. 

1st. It will allow our senior citizens  to have access to the store at its most sanitized point after nightly or morning cleaning. 

2nd. It will limit contact for potential exposure from the general public and allow them to get the items they may need.”

These are the stores taking part:

Rivertown Market – 7:00 to 8:00 am each day.

Maxway – 9:00 to 10:00 am except Sunday when it will be 10:00 to 11:00 am.

Dollar General in Coushatta and Hall Summit – 8:00 to 9:00 am each day.

Family Dollar – 7:00 to 8:00 am each day.
