Project snapshot

For over three decades, this family-owned confectionery store in Bayside has been a beloved fixture in the community, offering a wide selection of treats and fostering connections among neighbors. With the grant, they plan to enhance their operations in several ways: transitioning to sustainable packaging, expanding their online presence to cater to specific dietary needs, and improving accessibility for disabled customers. Their commitment to affordability, community engagement, and meeting the changing demands of their diverse neighborhood has solidified their place as a cherished gathering spot.
