We are overwhelmed with gratitude.

Thanks to your incredible generosity and the outpouring of love from the Hawthorne community, we were able to show up in a big way for one of our beloved street vendors. Your support surpassed every one of our expectations. Because of you guys, we were able to provide support to someone who has served our streets for years.

But this is just the beginning.

Inspired by what we’ve accomplished together, we’re launching a General Vendor Relief Fund. This fund will be distributed directly by us to street vendors across Hawthorne and neighboring cities, to keep them safe, help buy out their carts, and alleviate financial and emotional stress during these uncertain times.

We have already connected with several vendors around the city.

We will continue to prioritize transparency while keeping our vendors safe. You’ll be able to follow the journey of your help on our social medias.

THIS is what community is. Love yall.

With love and endless appreciation,

Sarai, Kiara, Hansel and the rest of @goodneighborsunited
