News story published by WBUR about the use of the Institute of Contemporary Art's Watershed as a food distribution site for families struggling with food insecurity. The story outlines the organizations that the ICA partnered with, and how the space is being utilized. As museums are no longer able to use their space to welcome visitors, some have sought to build on their community partnerships and use these facilities to benefit communities that are facing the economic and health effects of the CoVid-19 pandemic.
