The mission of the Friends of Little Saigon is to preserve and enhance Little Saigon’s cultural, economic, and historic vitality.

Nguyen Vu Jewelry has been around for 24 years in

Nguyen Vu Jewelry has been around for 24 years in Little Saigon. As a small business, owner Monica Le employs two staff at the jewelry store. Prior to COVID-19, the business was doing well, however, when the lockdown order was put in place, Monica had to close the jewelry store for three months. This had negatively affected the jewelry store significantly. Currently, the jewelry store is opened, but their business is very slow and they are not making much profit and are unable to get in new inventory or supplies.

The CID Biz Relief fund has supported Nguyen Vu jewelry in making repairs and modifications to their store related to COVID-19. To accommodate for COVID-19 and to keep their staff and customers safe, Nguyen Vu jewelry has implemented detailed cleaning and safety procedures.

Thank you for all of your support since we announced the re-launch of the CID Restaurants and Other Small Businesses Relief Fund to support CID small businesses. Our goal is to raise $200,000 by the end of this year. Your donation will go directly towards CID businesses.

There are still some CID Biz Relief Neighborhood Boxes left! The first 150 donors to donate $150 or more will receive this care package in the mail – just in time for the holidays. The box is filled with tasty goodies including:

- Phnom Penh Spicy Sate Sauce
- Oasis Bubble Tea Kit
- Hood Famous Ube cookies or Fuji Bakery Italian Coconut Macaroons
- Lam's Seafood Reusable Shopping Bag

Please take 5 minutes to fill out the 2020 Public

Please take 5 minutes to fill out the 2020 Public Safety Survey. This survey will help us understand how public safety in the Chinatown International District (CID) has changed since last year. The survey result will guide our efforts to improve neighborhood safety. Your responses will remain anonymous.

Survey is open now through December 4th and available in English, Vietnamese, and Chinese.

Can you help us sustain our small business support

Can you help us sustain our small business support?

Thank you for all your support of the businesses in Seattle's Chinatown-International District (CID). When the first COVID-19 case hit Washington State in February, our neighborhood saw a rapid decrease in revenue. The "Stay at Home" order, in combination with the fluctuation of rising cases has made recovery difficult for our businesses.
•
In those most pressing moments, over 800 donors stepped in to donate towards the CID Restaurants and Other Small Businesses Relief Fund. We have raised over $800,000 since March and released three rounds of funding – giving direct financial relief to over 200 small businesses in the CID (100% have gone to small businesses)
•
As 2020 wraps up, we hoped that our work would have shifted towards recovery. We hoped to begin to think about how our small businesses – many of whom are immigrant-owned with limited English skills – would be able to rebuild and sustain their businesses. But that's not where we are. Rising cases of COVID-19 locally and nationally have stunted our progress. The next few weeks are key to keeping this virus under control.
•
Today, we are re-launching our relief fund. Our goal is to raise $200,000 more dollars, making the total of our overall fund to $1 Million. This would help fund at least one more round of grants (maybe two!) for the small businesses in CID. Please consider making a donation again to help us meet this goal.
•
We are offering CID Small Biz Relief Neighborhood Boxes filled with goodies from the neighborhood. The first 150 donors to donate $150 or more will receive this box, just in time for the holidays. Visit https://scidpda.org/cidbizrelief/ to donate today! Link in bio.

It’s been an anxious few days but something that we’re looking forward to is the grand opening of the Little Saigon Creative in a couple of weeks! Make a housewarming gift today and help us put the finishing touches on a new community gathering space dedicated to Vietnamese culture and experiences. Your contributions will power community-centered services and a place for us to dream big together. Donors who make a gift of $200 and above by November 13 will receive a private in-person tour, swag bag, and recognition on donor wall.
