Statement from Abel Caterers:
We understand that these are uncertain times and we are all experiencing challenges associated with COVID-19. On a recent trip to the grocery store, I saw first-hand the empty shelves and anxious faces of people shopping for their families. I realized that we were in the position to help ease some of the stress of trying to shop and prepare food to feed your family. Starting Tuesday, we will offer take-out dinners for 4 people that can be picked up in Woodbridge, or delivered to you.
Please find the attached menu to begin on Tuesday, March 17. Although there are no substitutions, if there is something specific you need or would like to see us add to the menu, please feel free to reach out to us.
