From January 2022 to December 2022 our program has expanded. We have been able to help more than a hundred small businesses with technical assistance, marketing and networking.
We helped over 20 small businesses at the beginning of SBRN and now we have over 158 members email lists. Most businesses that we've helped managed daily operations by:
Providing access to free technical assistance support.
We provide businesses continued access to diverse customers on a constant basis.
By maintaining our monthly meetings with different small businesses.
On Sept 30-Oct 1, we held our first ever Palengke, which means market in Tagalog. The event was a joint venture with The Palengke National and our guest speaker was Sheryl Smith, Director of SBRN of the Department of Commerce. In addition, the event celebrated Filipino American history month, Filipino culture, and uplifting local businesses. The event brought over 2,500 people to the Filipino Community Center.
