According to research conducted this year, nearly 50% of people aged 55 and above in the Netherlands experience loneliness. There may be friendly neighborhood, but the elderly suffer a lot as their immune system does not permit them to step out for shopping or any type of activities. Dutch Local Jumbo Supermarket in Vlijmen is working to make their community less lonely. They recently launched two initiatives (新方案) in the supermarket for seniors: All Together Coffee Corner and Chat Checkout. All Together Coffee Corner is opened as a social coffee corner where elderly people meet with other locals just for a chat or to ask for help with small tasks. The goal of the coffee corner is to act as a meeting point for elderly people with locals as well as volunteers who can help them. The initiative is a huge success. Volunteers help elders in shopping, walking, etc. Also, Jumbo introduced 200 chat registers in its stores for customers who are not in a hurry and want to talk or chat during checkout. They piloted the first chat register in 2019, which was received positively by customers. The government has introduced Chat Checkout under government⁃sponsored One Against Loneliness program which also established a 24/7 loneliness hotline for people who are lonely. According to Jumbo representative, this is a small gesture but a very valuable one, especially in a world that is digitizing and getting faster and faster. Jumbo supermarket is considering opening more chat registers where loneliness is a major issue in the Netherlands. In addition, it will be introducing “cozy chat corners” where customers can sit and have a coffee with others. And it will donate materials to Oma􀆳s Soup, an initiative that brings university students with elders to prepare soup. 本文介绍了荷兰某超市为帮助老人克服孤独所采取的两项举措。 1.What can elders do in All Together Coffee Corner?
