As more and more community fridges are installed in neighborhoods throughout the Boston area, it’s important to remember that in order to keep them stocked, well, we all need to stock them. On Saturday, the Dorchester Community Fridge will partner with the Milton Community Network and China Pearl to host a food drive. Suggested donations include fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, milk, eggs, cooking oils, cleaning supplies, and napkins, all of which can be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The Mattapan Community Fridge follows suit on Sunday, accepting donations from 11 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are still needed!

Via boston.cbslocal.com. Another quarantine casualty. The Banana Boat, which has been serving up ice cream on Revere Beach since 1977, has announced it is closing. Built like a fortress, it withstood decades of pounding storms and hurricanes, yet the coronavirus shutdown proved to be too much.
Owners Amora & Avri Schena posted a heartfelt message on their Facebook page thanking everyone: It is with a heavy heart we have made the tough decision to close Banana Boat Ice Cream. Words will never be enough to express our gratitude to our family, hard-working employees, dedicated customers, suppliers, and each person who has supported us over the years.
