My husband is immunocompromised following a kidney transplant, so it was clear to me from the very beginning that I wasn't going to any grocery stores, ever. I had to find ways to get all the food for my family of four delivered or ordered online. At the beginning, I struggled through waiting long weeks for Instacart deliveries, and hours searching websites of big box stores that seemed to be out of everything we needed (no pasta? no rice? no flour?). At some point a neighbor told me about Munroe Dairy, a local milk & grocery delivery service, but they were not accepting new customers and only had an option to join their waitlist. Through hours of searching, I discovered the life-saving WhatsGood app. This service compiles several local farms, lets you place one order, and delivers the food directly to your doorstep. I couldn't believe it! After waiting weeks for Instacart or online orders to arrive (often with incorrect contents), WhatsGood literally came the next day and brought delicious local food. In addition to produce from local farms (bags of apples from the orchard! beautiful fresh kale!), I've ordered local beef, chicken, seafood and regional products like Cabot cheese through WhatsGood as well - reasonably priced, trustworthy and delicious. We had already been receiving Misfits Market produce, but now it became a vital resource: opening the box like a wondrous treasure chest. Misfits sources organic produce that has been rejected from grocery stores for cosmetic reasons, so consumers get a big discount, there's nothing wrong with the produce (sometimes a carrot is too big or too small?), and you're preventing food waste since otherwise, the products would be thrown away. We ended up doubling our order. For staples like tuna, beans and peanut butter (and okay, chocolate), we turned to Thrive Market, an online wholesaler of discount, Whole Food-ish healthy brands. And then, heaven-sent, I received a call from Munroe Dairy: they were accepting us as a customer! Since then, we've received a weekly delivery from Munroe. Not only their luscious fresh milk in gorgeous, heavy glass bottles, but butter, cheese, eggs, produce, meat and, yes, ice cream. My kids so look forward to the Munroe delivery (we've yet to find a gender-neutral alternative for the milkman) that they literally cheer when the "cow truck" pulls up. So now we're in a pretty good sourcing groove with WhatsGood, Munroe Dairy, Misfits Market and Thrive Market. We've even managed home delivery of beautiful fresh fish from RI commercial fishing boats, like the Narragansett Lobster Co, who are now delivering straight to consumers (try their clam chowder!). Before the lockdown, having enough food in the house was challenging enough, with a husband and two boys who tended to eat dinner before soccer practice AND dinner after soccer practice. We generally managed to squeeze in a trip to Trader Joe's on a weekend, with frequent desperate after-work dashes into our local Dave's Market (which my husband maintained would cost $80 even if you were determined to only get three things). Truth be told, most "where is this field?" soccer games in random Massachusetts suburbs ended with the cure for all starving children, Dunkin egg and cheese bagels (and you know Mommy deserves an iced coffee). Whenever this moment ends and we can grocery shop again without terror, I will continue our new focus on hyper-local sources of food. The Rhode Island farms, fishing boats and dairies have been more reliable, more delicious, and more ethically gratifying than any chain store. When I mentioned to my 87-year-old dad that I now have a milkman, he told me a story about his younger brother hopping in a milk truck and driving down the street in the 1940s, and laughed and laughed. I can't imagine a story about Walmart would have been as funny, or as touching. Location Where was this item created? East Greenwich, RI Language What language is it in?

COVID-19 JOURNAL #1 CORONA FLOODLIGHT For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light. -Luke 8:17 BSB Such as?  —What has always been the case but never shouted from the rooftops until impossible to ignore: Those among us who do the most labor-intensive work, perform the most essential services, and serve others most dependably are compensated the least of those among us at the other end of the spectrum who serve themselves first, who utilize (exploit) others to uphold their own interests, and who seek every means they can find to accrue more wealth to themselves while giving the least possible back to those who provide them with their wealth. Is anybody today still blind to what is happening to nursing-home caregivers, grocery store clerks, delivery people, trash collectors, postal workers, bus drivers, police, home-care workers, home health aids—all those who must get close to others in their work, who must put themselves in harm’s way to do their jobs, who minister to the sick and dying without sufficient medical means to protect themselves or their patients? This is, of course, not a new phenomenon, nor is the recognition thereof new: “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.” However, the inequity (read: injustice) has perhaps never in history nor on such a broad scale been so undeniably obvious to everyone everywhere at once, as our nurses and caregivers, childcare providers, food servers, truck drivers, trash collectors, and the rest of the unsung, keep giving what they have to give for the benefit of the rest of us—many, if not most, while struggling to put food on their family’s table or pay their rent. The things often hidden, ignored, or taken for granted are now being illuminated like a night game at Fenway Park when the switches are thrown—in the floodlights of this equal-opportunity invader called Covid-19—the global enemy from which no one and nothing is safe. The pandemic has thrown into stark relief those who are most at risk and least able to protect themselves for lack of economic and social support. The other side of the coin is the great potential for rectifying this human tragedy by changing the world for the better. But will we? For that matter, is there any "we"? Will this common enemy unite us in the interest of the good of all human beings, the worth of every human life, and the need to honor all persons and care for the welfare of all persons everywhere—young, old, black, brown, yellow, red, white? To care for the earth itself and all the resources and life- forms on it—rather than just for our immediate and narrow needs and wants? We will see. Location Where was this item created?
