Grace Young’s Support Chinatown Initiative
To aid struggling legacy Chinatown businesses and NYC neighbors, Grace is partnering with Welcome to Chinatown’s Sik Faan Fund to donate fresh, nutritious, and familiar meals for low income, food insecure, and at-risk senior residents in NYC. The hot meals will be purchased from local Chinatown businesses, including legacy restaurants like Hop Kee, Hop Lee, Wo Hop (upstairs and downstairs) and distributed among our community partners that serve our neighbors in need.
