SEND CHINATOWN LOVE: FOOD CRAWL

​September 1 - 30, 2020
CHINATOWN, MANHATTAN
​While fundraising for struggling businesses brings immediate relief, bringing foot traffic back to Chinatown is a more sustainable, long-term way to keep these local businesses open.
​
For the month of September, Send Chinatown Love is hosting a food crawl in Manhattan’s Chinatown, highlighting 13 incredible restaurants, bakeries, cafes and more throughout the neighborhood. Come with your friends and family to explore locally and savor all the incredible things Chinatown has to offer and earn rewards for shopping with our merchants!

How SCL Works

Find the Merchants

We locate Asian-owned businesses—especially those in NYC’s Chinatowns—that have been hit hardest. Unlike other initiatives, we strive to reach cash-only, pen-and-paper businesses that aren’t able to use most gift card, donation or app delivery solutions.

Build a Donation Page

Our team of engineers, designers, and storytellers create a custom webpage for each merchant to take donations and sell gift cards. We speak their language, we pay in cash, and we do all the heavy lifting — including marketing. 

Fund the Business

100% of all donations goes straight to the merchant, and they don’t need to adopt any new point-of-sale systems. We ensure the small, off-the-grid Chinatown businesses get the funding love they need to survive.

Ways to Support
We are providing an online platform to low-tech, cash-only, Asian-owned small businesses that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Support local merchants by making a donation or purchasing a voucher from them.
