It was our privilege working with the SBA office and PACE after the unexpected mass shooting in the City of Monterey Park during the Lunar New Year celebration of 2023, which affected many small business owners within a couple blocks radius of the incident including our business, the Traditional Guilin Noodle. Since then, we have been working closely with PACE to brainstorm how our business stays afloat and apply for grant opportunities. Since then, our business has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the SoCal Gas Restaurant Care Foundation, in addition to $20,000 from the LA County Economic Opportunity Grant for small businesses.
