"The question isn't when will restaurants be allowed to open—it's when will the public feel comfortable eating in them?"

@tomcolicchio on the the future of restaurants after #COVID19, why they must be part of the solution to our food crisis, & rethinking our social safety net.👇🏻 https://twitter.com/nprfreshair/status/1258412997388709888
One way to support our locally-owned restaurants in the East Bay—while *also* assisting frontline healthcare workers— @EastBayFeedER.

Started by @ayeletw, this volunteer effort uses 100% of donations to buy meals from 71 local restaurants for our heroes.👇🏻 https://www.eastbayfeeder.org/ 
In addition to standard fare, some spots now sell groceries & staple pantry supplies—allowing you to support your favorite restaurants *and* their food suppliers.

Local family-favorite @Goldensquirrelp has added this to their offerings, full list @ebnosh👉🏻 https://www.berkeleyside.com/nosh-guide/shelter-in-place/pantry-supplies https://twitter.com/goldensquirrelp/status/1259282503623475200
