Restaurant Business Development Program
We established a fund valued at $15,000, used for any culinary development support for businesses. These businesses understand and are committed to the economic growth in their communities. We selected 25 historical entrepreneurs in the food industry. We’re devoted to dismantling the long history of food injustice in providing resources, training services, and bridging communities together.Learn more
