We turn to food as a way of comforting ourselves and the people we love.. Especially during difficult challenges, notable life-events and in times of crisis. The sheer power of a home-cooked meal strengthens family bonds and teaches children about good nutrition. In time of need, food can bring communities together to share their unique cultural dishes, and foster a desperately needed sense of belonging. Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be just one day a year.
The uncertainty of the coronavirus has forced many food-based businesses to shutter their doors for the time being. In response, restaurants and food cart owners have rallied by offering delicious, freshly prepared grocery boxes and family-style meals. These offerings are safely made-to-order, with options including delivered to the home, no-contact delivery and available for pickup.
Now, more than ever, families and communities are looking for safe and healthy, food shopping, prepared meals and dining alternatives, during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Nutrition and a regular source of daily healthy foods is important as families and cities work together to understand the vital importance of cleaning and sanitizing, social distancing, being extra mindful of those who may be more vulnerable, and taking extra measures to ensure good health for all.
To help lessen the impact COVID-19 will have on people’s lives over the next coming months, many food-based businesses are answering the call to the much needed alternative to dining out in Louisville. One of those businesses is Office First Catering. They’ve joined the ranks of many greater Louisville, KY business owners in support of #TeamKentucky and #togetherKY. The driving force behind these promotions is to foster a sense of positivity, “spread good news,” and “show others how to model the right behavior,” as people start learning to live long-term alternative lifestyles.
As we pause and begin this phase of adjustment, turning towards our lives from the comforts of home; family meal planning will become an increasingly more important part of the daily routine. Let Office First Catering ease some of the prepping and online grocery ordering, by providing your family with an easy way to order a twist on their top-notch catering service. Office First Catering is now serving fresh-packed Grocery Box Service pick up and delivery along with their scrumptious scratch-made entrees and sides. Simply log in, and order online!
