“Muchas Gracias Mercadito is a contact-less Delivery and Take-out Pop-Up.”

By Prince Of Petworth


5029 Connecticut Ave, NW

Thanks to Ben for sending: “The Muchas Gracias “Delivery and Take-out Pop-Up” opened a couple weeks ago on Connecticut Ave. between Buck’s and Sugar Fox. This is in the Buckaroos space. Initial impression: tasty. They don’t have a proper sign, but they do have a website, which seems more important these days.”

Their website says: “Muchas Gracias Mercadito is a contact-less Delivery and Take-out Pop-Up.

In a response to our community’s needs, we offer grocery items, delicious prepared foods, and a menu inspired by the flavors of Latin America.

Part of our mission is to support immigrant workers who often go unseen – especially in these difficult times. With your support we supply free, delivered meals and farm-direct pantry boxes to families in need. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to organizations supporting immigrant workers.

We look forward to feeding you ALL!
Created in partnership with our neighbors,
Buck’s Fishing + Camping and Comet Ping Pong.

Donations will benefit Tables Without Borders and Friends and Family Meal, amongst others.”

“Dear PoPville,

Like many others, I have been using some of my extra time to perfect my baking skills. I live alone so I am ending up with lots of extra treats. Do you know of any groups or organizations that would accept homemade baked goods? I would love to give some treats to some of the area essential workers.”

“D.C. Area High School Students Organize Regional 3D-Printing Effort in Fight Against COVID-19”

By Prince Of Petworth


“Jonah Docter-Loeb with a face shield”

From a press release:

“To protect the D.C. area’s essential workers from exposure to COVID-19, Georgetown Day School senior Jonah Docter-Loeb founded a partnership of more than 100 volunteers, the DC Mutual Aid Network, Eaton DC, and other local organizations to produce and distribute 3D-printed face shields.

The group, which recently named itself “Print to Protect” produced more than 1,000 shields in the first week of April. Five hundred of these have already been donated to the staff at MedStar Washington Hospital and United Medical Centers. At the current rate of production, Docter-Loeb anticipates the group will be able to create 15,000 shields by the end of the month. When used in conjunction with a medical face mask, these shields provide Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended levels of protection to professionals who come into contact with carriers of COVID-19 during the course of their work.
