The Little Tokyo Community Council (LTCC) has awarded a total of $100,000 in grant funding to 50 small businesses in Little Tokyo that have faced significant revenue losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the first round of distributions in November 2020, $2,000 grants were given to 25 of the community’s small businesses, a majority of them being legacy small businesses that have been open for more than 20 years, and the second round will help support 25 more treasured businesses that contribute to the cultural identity of the neighborhood.

SALEM â One of the city s biggest nonprofits has teamed up with one of its most critical, and much smaller organizations.
Peabody Essex Museum and the Salem Pantry recently announced a challenge pledge through Feeding Community, a joint initiative designed to raise awareness of food insecurity, secure essential funding, and recruit volunteers to support The Salem Pantry s life-sustaining operations.
That challenge, worth $20,000 once both organizations land 200 donations, was on the verge of being unlocked just a week after the challenge began on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, according to Robyn Burns, executive director of the Pantry.
