While you are thinking about the 2020 racing season....

A Preview of the ESSA Sailing Experience

Cambridge Association of Neighborhoods

Greetings from the Cambridge Association of Neighborhoods (CAN).

As many of you know several local grocery stores (eg, Walmart, Harris Teeter, and perhaps others) accept on-line (internet) grocery orders for pick-up at designated times.

We’re wondering if there are folks in the community who need someone to pick up these on-line orders for them because they lack transportation or are otherwise unable to leave their homes.

To assess the potential interest in a pickup service like this, we are asking you to contact us if you would be interested in (a) utilizing the pickup service, or (b) volunteering to pick up grocery orders and deliver them to you neighbors.

If interested in participating. please email tom.puglisi@comcast.net and specify whether you are interested in (a) utilizing the pickup service, or (b) volunteering to pick up grocery orders.

Thanks very much and BE SAFE!

Tom Puglisi, CAN Secretary

Take-Out and Delivery Services

Dorchester restaurants still offering take-out, delivery; some have groceries, too

While our non-essential retail operations are shut down completely for now for safety reasons, restaurants are still allowed to offer carry-out and/or delivery. Many of our Dorchester restaurants have pivoted quickly to do this. Some have changed up their menus to offer family-size meals, pizza kits, cocktails by the quart (yes, alcohol is temporarily allowed to be a carry-out/delivery item for those over 21). Some are even offering grocery items for your convenience. We've put together a list of which local restaurants are offering carry-out/delivery, plus their contact info. This list is constantly changing, so check back frequently or check the social media of the restaurant itself. The web page also includes shops and various other businesses and whether they're open or closed. Here's the list.
