It’s Great American Takeout Day and more and more to-go dining deals are popping up to keep L.A. safe and fed. La Piazza at the Grove and The Melt are offering free meals to exhausted medical staff and first responders and Fresh Brothers has dinner and a movie in — here’s what’s picking up.

Tender Greens has  launched Grocery Boxes — boxes filled with fresh produce, pantry staples and home essentials that are available for delivery and/or pickup at all  locations. The produce and products in the boxes are sourced from local farmers and purveyors. The main partner is Scarborough Farms in Calabasas, a family-run farm that uses small-scale, custom farming methods to ensure the fresh, just-harvested gourmet products taste wonderful and have a longer shelf life. Options include:
