Palo Alto Newsletter - Mar. 22, 2020
​

WATCH UPCOMING NOTICES FROM THE VILLAGES AND OTHERWISE.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS A CORONAVIRUS SAFETY MEASURE!
      The Villages list of closings:      districtgov.org

This is a list of resources for TAKE OUT / DELIVERY in these strange CoronaVirus times. The following note from La Hacienda Catering made us start a list of other restaurants that offer take out / delivery.

If your favorite restaurant is not listed here, call them or look them up online. They, too, may be offering pickup / delivery services.  

Here's the note from La Hacienda Catering: 
    "In light of the corona virus/COVID 19 scare, many of our events for the next 3-4 weeks have had to cancel or reschedule.  In the meantime, we are switching gears to offer an alternative.  We will be posting each week a menu that can be prepared and delivered right to your home or business.  Meals will be fully cooked, all you have to do is reheat and eat! Beats standing in line at the grocery store! I have attached next week’s menu for your review.  We are offering free delivery also until 4/15 on orders of $25 or more.   
   Even if you are not interested for yourself, you may know someone that is.  Taking a few minutes to spread the word about our new service costs nothing. Helping a small business in our community is priceless.  Thank you for your time and take care! 
    I will be posting the menu each week on our Facebook page and emailing it.  If you are interested in getting on that list, please respond and let me know.  Thanks so much!"

Call to order or get on their Email List at:         352-753-2367
(if you are on their email list, you will receive next week's menu via email)

Notes
Again, if your favorite restaurant is not listed here, call them or look them up online. They, too, may be offering pickup / delivery services. Take the food & eat it at home or at a picnic table in The Villages for  a change. So far, we can still do that. 
 
Also, check out:   GrubHub & Doordash 
One restaurant showed: "GrubHub & UberEats are both suspending their delivery fees in an effort to provide some relief to our guests... place your order today!"         
SO - Check if and when this special offer is available.

Compare GrubHub & UberEats, when available, with ordering directly from the restaurant when you can do that. 

 
​Disclaimer:  We are not recommending any of these services.
In most cases we haven't ever tried these services.
This is just to potentially help you during this trying time.  ​​
