Somerville resident Nina Eichner participated in her first demonstration through the youth climate change movement Sunrise when she drove a 15-person van to Washington D.C. in December 2018. The group occupied the Capitol building and shared stories with lawmakers, urging them to back the select committee for the Green New Deal. Link in bio. 📸: @adriannelacy

Remnant Brewing is trying to activate a new distribution model. Since the Somerville brewery’s taproom can no longer be open to the public—an effect of the novel coronavirus outbreak—management is moving to sell more packaged beer, which customers can pick up at the Bow Market location. Much of Remnant’s sales now come from their production of crowlers, 32-ounce cans that are hand filled from the tap on site, says general manager Brittany Lajoie. Crowler sales have been up, with an average of 100 sold every day, in contrast to the pre-coronavirus rate of 100 sold per week. Yet losing taproom customers has resulted in an enormous overall decrease in income, says Lajoie, with traffic being “way down from normal.” Link in bio. 📸: @sashapdro

According to Union Square Main Streets executive director Jessica Eshleman’s notes, the idea first went out from the Somerville Chamber of Commerce’s Dining & Nightlife Group last Tuesday: A joint effort to create a web page linking to all of the city’s restaurants that were offering delivery and take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic. By March 21, Somerville Delivers was rolled out, and as of Tuesday it had nearly 80 restaurants listed. Link in bio. 📸: Leigh Savary

Inspired by Needham-based photographer Cara Soulia, Scout Somerville staff photographer Adrianne Mathiowetz asked to bring the “Front Steps Project” to Somerville and Cambridge in an effort to raise funds for Scout Magazines. Two other photographers, Amanda Macchia and Scout Cambridge staff photographer Sasha Pedro, graciously hopped on immediately. Scout is in trouble, and we want to continue doing the important work of documenting the community, but we need your help. If you are able to give us the gift of a donation, we would love to return the favor with a family photo taken from a safe distance.

J.J. Gonson is trying to ramp back up the Cuisine en Locale side of the business now that ONCE Somerville has shut its doors, and since it’s a meal delivery program, it actually answers a need among Somerville residents. But even though she’s been doing that for 15 years, ONCE had been commanding the larger portion of her time and attention. So, Gonson has to figure out how to scale up from the few meals a day she has been providing for customers. Link in bio. 📸: Jess Benjamin

The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) released a list of specific guidelines that restaurants and food service workers should follow on March 24—the same day that nonessential businesses were ordered to close by Gov. Charlie Baker. Restaurants are still allowed to offer delivery and take-out services under this order, as long as they follow proper social distancing protocols. The CPHD broke down exactly what these protocols are, and it’s a little more involved than the general “wash your hands” and “don’t come to work if you’re sick” advice that’s been circulating.

Gov. Charlie Baker ordered the Department of Public Health to issue a statewide stay-at-home advisory, effective from noon on March 24 through April 7. Furthermore, all “non-essential” businesses will be closed during this time. “What this means is that everyone can still buy food at the grocery store, get what they need at the pharmacy and, of course, take a walk around the block or at the park,” Baker said at a press conference. We have a complete list of all essential services that will remain open during this time. Link in bio. 📸: Jess Benjamin

Staying open for take-out and delivery to generate some level of income is the best hope for locally owned restaurants even while their seats remain empty. While many businesses already had such services available, that’s not true across the board. But facing indefinite closure, a large number of eateries are scrambling to set up these services at the last minute. Link in bio. 📸: UberEats media kit

As of this morning, we have raised $1,320 towards our initial $5,000 fundraising goal to meet immediate needs. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all of our donors—each one of you is directly helping to keep a local publication alive. The fight isn’t over yet! For Scout to remain open past this week, we need to raise a total of $5,000. This will pay staff and keep the websites online. We’ve been operating on a thin margin for a while, but this has turned into a make-it-or-break-it moment for us. Link to donate in our bio.

If you’re a music lover in the Cambridge area, then you’re probably familiar with the nonprofit Passim in some capacity—whether it’s their live shows at Club Passim, their music school, or their local festivals. But now they’re trying something completely new: the virtual Keep Your Distance Festival, featuring artists like Mark Erelli and Stephen Kellogg, among others. The festival is a way for these artists to practice social distancing while also performing in their at-home videos posted to the event playlist on Youtube. The hope for the festival is to promote these artists and bring awareness to the Passim Emergency Artist Relief (PEAR) Fund. Link in bio. 📸: Keep Your Distance Festival

A couple of weeks ago, chef-owner Daniel Bojorquez and his staff at La Brasa and Fat Hen were excited. For all that was going on with the coronavirus, there was reason for optimism: They were on the verge of spring, graduation and wedding season was imminent, everyone could feel the energy. Then things started changing very rapidly. Now he and his wife Emily are the only official staff remaining, but handling all the details of temporarily shuttering a sizable restaurant operation is keeping them busy—not the least of which is contacting everyone who had scheduled functions with them and figuring out the next step.
