All employees of all essential businesses are recommended to wear cloth face covering over their mouth and nose when interacting with the public or within six feet of a coworker. 2. All essential businesses are recommended to post signage on their main entrance doors indicating that it is highly recommended that the consumer entering the store wear a face covering. 3. It is recommended that all members of the public aged two years and older entering any essential businesses as defined by Governor Baker’s COVID-19 Order No. 13 shall wear a clean cloth face covering, such as a fabric face mask, scarf, or bandana, over their mouth and nose, and exercise social distancing in accordance with CDC Guidelines. 4. Please note that the recommended face coverings are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators, which should be left for medical professionals and first responders. See this link for further information from the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-faq.html Guidance and information regarding COVID-19 is being updated frequently.

Six weeks into the quarantine, the Food Cupboard is facing a shortage of several essential shelf stable food items. In light of these shortages, we are reaching out to our Medfield neighbors for their support through a month-long, targeted food drive starting on April 20. Items can be placed in the trailer in front of the Public Safety Building. As always, thank you for your support.♥️

Medfield Helping Organizations

Posted on April 18, 2020 | Comments Off on Medfield Helping Organizations

I was asked yesterday – “Could your blog offer names and contact information of organizations that help Medfield residents in time of need?”   I will list the ones of which I am aware, and invite others to add to my list.

 

The Home Committee

The oldest helping entity I am aware of is the Home Committee.  Kathy Thompson (kathompson@gmail.com) and Georgia Colivas of the Home Committee appeared at a recent Select Board meeting to explain the Home Committee.  At that time they announced that the Home Committee had made a substantial donation to the Medfield Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Fund.

 

Town of Medfield

The Town of Medfield’s human services are managed through the Medfield Youth Outreach, the Council on Aging, and Veterans Services.

Medfield Foundation

mfi logo

The Medfield Foundation was started in 2001 with a simple idea, that Medfield residents would be willing to make private donations for public purposes in their own hometown, and to date over $3 m. has been given.

As a result of the annual Angel Run each December being a Medfield Foundation initiative, MFi started fourteen years ago raising monies for its Public Needs Fund to assist Medfield families.  The MFi’s Public Needs Funds are disbursed to an Angel Fund administered jointly by the Medfield Youth Outreach office and Pastor Phil Bauman of the UCC, from where the monies are disbursed to Medfield families in need.

MFi responded four years ago to a perceived need to assist all Medfield children to be able to attend summer camp by the creation of its Camp Fund, currently administered by Rose Colleran.

Medfield Helping Hands, a Medfield Foundation initiative, is a volunteer network that supports Medfield families in temporary crisis with meals and rides. It is run by Laurie Nealon, Kathleen Cahill, and Katie Henebry.

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund is an endowment established for the long-term benefit of the Medfield community which engages in grant-making to support community-driven projects.  Its Community Board, run by Todd Trehubenko and Chris Cahill, is engaged in raising $1 m. to endow the Legacy Fund.

Most recently, MFi has created its COVID-19 Relief Fund, which was created to specifically assist residents in need due to issues arising due to the COVID-19 virus.  The COVID-19 Relief Fund is being headed by Evan Weisenfeld and Abby Marble

Any Medfield Foundation initiative mentioned can be reached through the website, or by an email to president@medfieldfoundation.org or  treasurer@medfieldfoundation.org.

 

Churches

I suspect that all the churches in town are engaged in helping residents as well, but I do not know those details.

The Medfield Town House will be closed to all employees from April 14 through April 16 after an employee self-reported not feeling well and did not come into work on Monday, April 13. Although the Town Hall is not required to close, it will close out of an abundance of caution for staff reporting to the Town House each day.

TTOR re-opening tomorrow

Email yesterday from the The Trustees of the Reservation –
TTOR

Dear Michael, Gus, Osler and Kristine.

I hope you all continue to be safe and healthy, since my last writing.  I wanted to fill you in on developments regarding property closings.
Tomorrow morning, the Trustees will announce the reopening of 70+ properties throughout Massachusetts, some of which are in the Charles River Valley portfolio.  These properties will reopen on Thursday April 9.  The decision was made to provide residents of the Commonwealth, where possible, with opportunities to spend time in nature during the COVID-19 pandemic and strongly encourages a ‘Stay Local’ practice.  The properties which are reopening do not require staffing and did not experience overcrowding prior to the closures.
Medfield Meadow Lots and Medfield Rhododendrons will reopen on Thursday.  A complete list of properties which will be reopened throughout the state may be found at thetrustees.org/COVID19.
Other Trustees properties will remain closed until May 4. These properties include sites where a staff presence is required to prevent overcrowding, or where town officials have requested they stay closed.  All Trustees farms will remain closed, except for curbside food pick up, to ensure the health and safety of essential agricultural staff and the food grown on these farms.  While these properties remain closed for the time being, we hope to safely open them with a plan for controlled access.
We are also asking visitors to comply with social distancing guidance for health and safety, to help keep properties open during this time:
1.Limit visits to open Trustees properties in your respective town or neighborhood
2.Stay at least six feet from other visitors, including stepping aside on the trail to let others pass
3.Where dogs are allowed, keep them leashed and away from other visitors at all times
4.If a parking area is full, please come back at a less busy time.
For those who miss coming to our farms and recreational sites which remain closed, we are actively posting and providing virtual experiences on our website, Facebook and Instagram.
Many thanks for your wonderful support and spirit of partnership as we continue to navigate a frequently changing situation and manage our properties during this uncertain time.  As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
All best and be well.
