“Dear PoPville,
Given that I’ll be spending the foreseeable future in sweats and a t-shirt, can we get some suggestions of local businesses who are selling swag that we could add to delivery/curbside pick up orders? If I’m going to be rocking a sweatshirt, I’d love it to be helping the community.”

“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you have heard of any DC restaurants that will be making traditional Easter meals for pick-up/delivery? I was planning to cook myself, but would love to support a local restaurant if possible!”

“I was wondering if you’ve seen any restaurants advertising Passover dinners for delivery? I saw Call Your Mother has one for pick up but we were wondering if places like Sababa would be doing anything for the holiday next week.”
