Oak Park Trustee and Takeout 25 Founder Ravi Parakkat stands near Sugar Fixé Pâtisserie in downtown Oak Park, Illinois. Takeout 25 began in Oak Park, Illinois as a tangible way for individuals to show their support for local restaurants. It has since inspired similar initiatives nationwide.

When indoor dining temporarily ended in Oak Park last fall during the Chicago, Illinois suburb’s second wave of COVID-19, some residents took to social media to share their opinions on the balance between public health and small business survival.

For the nations that got on it from the start, the COVID-19 first phase is spent. That means that it is done.
