A new food hall in downtown Boston that was supposed to open in March never did get to debut due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but meals are being made there, and they are being given to front line workers in the local area.
According to an article from The Boston Globe, High Street Place has become a delivery service facility of sorts, with some of the upcoming food vendors there including Big Heart Hospitality, Daiquiris & Daisies, Farmacy Cafe, Fuji, Humoveh, Mike & Patty's, Mother Juice, North East of the Border, and Pennypacker's cooking up food for workers at hospitals such as Beth Israel Deaconess, Boston Medical Center, Brigham and Women's, Carney Hospital, East Boston Health Center, and St. Elizabeth's. The post mentions that property manager Rockhill Management has funded this by buying the food in advance, and that 7,000 meals will be made for front line workers over a five-week period.
Caroline Moore, who is director of volunteer services at Beth Israel Deaconess and distributes the food, gives a hint as to how much this service means to workers, saying that "I had a doctor break down in tears when he saw my cart because he realized he hadn't eaten in 12 hours."
