Project snapshot

The African and Caribbean grocery store, owned by an African woman who immigrated from Ghana, will utilize the grant to invest in a delivery service, bringing convenience to elderly and disabled customers who struggle to visit the store. The funds will also be used to expand the store’s inventory, ensuring all customers can find the products they need. Additionally, the grant will help cover operating costs such as rent and utilities, providing stability and peace of mind to the business owner.
