A message from the Branchfood Team regarding COVD-19 and our path forward.

As we continue to navigate the unprecedented COVID-19 situation, our dedication to providing the Branchfood community with resources and relevant information is even more pertinent.

Stay safe and healthy

We urge you to take all necessary precautions to keep you, your families and the greater community healthy. Follow the basic protective measures given by the World Health Organization (WHO), practice social distancing, and take time for your mental health. Although we are saddened by the temporary closures of so many beloved local businesses, we acknowledge the importance of these measures and encourage everyone to take serious precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Help your local community

With severe measures taken in Massachusetts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, local businesses and communities anticipate life-changing hardships. The food community is struggling: businesses are facing interrupted operations, restaurants and bars are temporarily closing, and many employees are without income. Our thoughts and hearts go to all those affected. If you would like to support local establishments, please see these helpful suggestions and visit our COVID-19 information and resource page.
