As an ADVOCATE: Support the cause…
Since 2021, the “Backing Historic Small Restaurants” program has helped preserve America’s culinary heritage and beloved neighborhood buildings by supporting historic small restaurants across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These grantees—resilient, community-rooted establishments—have not only survived but thrived, becoming powerful symbols of cultural pride and local impact.
