Small businesses and organizations are vital to our community because of the jobs they provide to our residents, the sales tax they generate, and the services that they provide which are critical to the public. The City of Whittier and Whittier Chamber of Commerce have partnered to create the Whittier Small Business COVID Compliant Grant to assist local small businesses that have been financially impacted by COVID-19. This grant was created specifically to help small businesses more safely resume customer interactions and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of the program is to offer immediate financial assistance to ensure ongoing compliance with state and county health orders and protocols.
