THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS!!
Thanks to our dedicated supporters, friends and neighbors, we have met our fundraising deadline and reached our goal of raising $40,000 during the first three quarters of our fiscal year!

We couldn't have done this without YOU! Of the $40,000 raised, $38,000 was comprised of individual donations from the community. These funds will allow us to receive crucial upfront funding this fall so we can continue our work, supporting the small businesses of Van Ness and Forest Hills.
