Grant Street Community and Small Business Support

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we are posting resources on this page to support hyper-local organizing efforts for block clubs and resources for our small businesses.

We remind everyone that many Grant Street small businesses remain open- in fact, much of what is in shortage in larger retailers like supermarkets is still readily available at our smaller grocers. Many small Asian markets across the country have reported a decrease in sales due to fears often steeped in racism.

Before getting in your car and driving to a supermarket, we highly recommend taking a walk with your list to the shops a block away. This is also an opportunity to talk with neighbors you see when outside and check in with them.

Always maintain social distancing practices and remain a minimum of 6’ away from folks outside of your household. Wash hands before leaving home and after returning home; leave shoes at the door. Sanitize product packaging using a mixture of 1 cup of bleach to 5 gallons of water. Do not mix bleach with other products- water and bleach is all that is needed, and mixing household cleaners can have deadly consequences.

Fresh produce does not require additional sanitization beyond normal procedures- but don’t skip those normal washing steps!

Important Note: Jericho Road Community Health Center is accepting donations of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE.)

“Our health centers are still open and providing services during the pandemic. We need the public to help us keep our patients and medical team safe. If you have unused N95 or non-N95 masks, please donate them. If you can sew masks at home, let us know. Pattern for DIY mask is at https://turbanproject.com/patterns. We need adult-size face masks.

We are accepting donations of these supplies Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at 166 Barton Street. If you are planning a drop-off, please email us at contact@jrchc.org or message us via Facebook for further instructions.”
