We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support and concern for the community members affected by the fire. Because of your generous donations and the quick mobilization of our team, we have been able to distribute $34,000 in relief funds to cover basic necessities and lost wages for 78-80 Mulberry Street's residential and commercial tenants, respectively. Welcome to Chinatown also purchased and assembled care packages at the Lin Sing Association on Sunday. Care package included snacks, toiletries, and items from Abacus Bank, Yaya's and oo35mm.
Please continue to share and amplify our fundraiser. Additional donations will go towards residential tenants with urgent needs and supporting our beloved small businesses, Ewa Trading & KK Discount.
We've spoken with the Zhou family of @ewatradingnyc and the Li family of @kkdiscount, and learned that their shops will be temporarily closed until further notice due to the sustained water damage. In addition to sharing our fundraiser, you can support Ewa Trading by purchasing our Made in Chinatown x @ewatradingnyc shirt.

We will provide updates as we continue to coordinate with Councilmember Marte's office, city agencies, and other community based organizations.
