[Support from the Lake Street Council contributed] to a safety net that enabled our owners and staff to prioritize a continuity of service to our customers and neighbors, instead of dedicating all of our time to making ends meet.

Gracias al apoyo que recibí, mi negocio sigue funcionando, sin su apoyo no lo hubiéramos logrado, después de los disturbios.

Thanks to the support I received, my business continues to operate, without the Lake Street Council’s support we would not have made it, after the civil unrest.

It provided some unanticipated financial stability at a time when our financial outlook was very uncertain. And underlined the Lake Street Council's commitment to organizations like ours, which was a much-needed morale boost.

[The grants] were significant. They allowed us to resume operations and deliver programming beginning immediately following the unrest.
