Casper Cabs is providing free round-trip grocery runs for senior residents in Casper to help those residents as they cope with the restrictions during the ongoing novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, its owner said Friday.

"I'm just trying to give back to the community," Tom Elliott told K2 Radio News.

Elliott said he's been having a tough enough time shopping for groceries, and knows seniors are having even a tougher time as they shelter in place.

Casper Cabs offers the rides to seniors age 60 and older from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily, and is available to these stores depending on the stores' own hours for senior shopping:
