    Hi @jaguaress012, have you tried approaching Social Services, your local Council, local food bank, the Salvation Army, Red Cross or the Royal Voluntary Service?
    Hopefully at least one of these could offer you some food and help with whatever you need.
    There may also be some other Charities that could advise you, some specific to a condition you may have or even depending on your age.
    If you are a senior citizen you could ask Age UK or Silver Line for help. 
    Please let us know if anyone has been able to help you. 
    Take care.

    From my knowledge I don't think Scope offer grants like that. 

    Have you asked family, friends and neighbours for help?

    Hi @jaguaress012, I'm sorry to hear that you have tried all of the organisations I suggested without success.
    I don't know where abouts in the country you are but there must be a local volunteer group in place?
    I sincerely hope that you can find the help you need.

    Hi @jaguaress012, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd drop you a quick note.
    As far as I know all London Boroughs have received extra assistance from the government to ensure that all vulnerable people have access to food and other essentials. 
    You are more likely to receive assistance from organisations such as the ones I listed previously than from individuals.

    Most of us on this Forum are in lockdown, classed as being vulnerable, so wouldn't be able to help you with shopping. 
    Sorry I can't be of more help.
