Little things that help locally - ironyak - 03-14-2020
Heard of this and had to share. Hopefully others might find some other little things we all can do to help support our community.
As it's Friday night, many people would usually be out dining. However, in the interest of everyone's health, consider instead calling them up and ordering a gift certificate. This helps your favorite places stay in business during this challenging time and gives you something to look forward to in the future. Cheers!

Great idea! I've been ordering online everything including food. Vacation rental bookings are cancelling left and right, hopefully we will be in for a quiet month or two on the island. However I've got some millennial neighbors who are running amuck this week-end. Great, they know they won't suffer much if infected, so what else matters?

Could people here post links to local food delivery companies and restaurants that do take-out? I'm all for supporting the local economy as much as possible and it would help to have a list of rescources available.
I haven't used any food delivery services so far but have used restaurants for take out, for instance, restaurants I use for take out in the past are:
Kamana Kitchen - https://www.kamanakitchen.com/
Cafe Pesto - https://www.cafepesto.com/
Lemongrass Restaruant in Keaau - no website
As I mentioned, I haven't used food delivery before other than pizza places, but googled food delivery Hilo and found:

Nice idea but don't go too crazy on the gift cards, quite a few restaurants will go bust if this keeps up.
