Pulling Together: Fork & Spoon, Bozeman’s pay-as-you-can restaurant finds itself in a positon where they cannot bring in the normal flow of volunteers to help prepare, serve and clean up after meals. Without their reliable volunteers, Fork & Spoon’s staff have been working extra hours to perform these functions. Some local restaurants, including Urban Kitchen, Rosa’s Pizza and Sweet Chili Asian Bistro, have donated meals to feed the Fork & Spoon clientele. Thank you, Bozeman!

What Can I Do? Help protect those whose jobs require them to come into close contact with the public. If you’re shopping at a local grocery store or mass-merchandise store, please wear a mask, be considerate of the space of store employees, and try to go to the store alone, as opposed to bring the whole family with you. Employers are trying to protect their employees by posting prominent signs saying, “All shoppers must wear a mask,” marking off 6-foot spaces in check-out lines, and installing protective shields for cashiers. Please offer these essential workers the respect they deserve by honoring these safety measures.
