The Business and Diversity Councils of The Chamber present the Ethnic Food Takeover Initiative <\/em> to promote ethnic restaurants with takeout and delivery service to combat the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Ethnic Food Takeover will take place<\/strong><\/p>\n April 17-19, 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lehigh Valley, PA<\/strong> \u2013 The Business and the Diversity Councils of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, has created an initiative to help Ethnic-owned restaurants market their availability for takeout and delivery services called Ethnic Food Takeover Initiative, to be held April 17-19. The open call for restaurants to sign up starts now via the Business and Diversity Councils\u2019 webpage: https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/business–diversity-councils.html<\/a><\/p>\n The Ethnic Food Takeover Initiative will focus on small businesses owned and operated by entrepreneurs that serve ethnic food. There are no fees to participate and restaurants don\u2019t have to be members of The Chamber. The goal of the initiative is to help bring awareness of the diverse array of ethnic food establishments in the Lehigh Valley and to keep them afloat during the economic downturn of the COVID-19 crisis. Restaurants have been required to keep their dining rooms closed and limit their operations to takeout, curbside and delivery.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only will this initiative highlight our diverse ethnic food all throughout the Lehigh Valley, it will give a desperately needed economic boost to the small restaurants in our community,\u201d said Danielle Joseph, Executive Vice President, Diversity Councils of The Chamber. \u201cWe have to do all that we can to help our community now when they need us the most \u2013 each dollar makes a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n Foodies from across the Lehigh Valley can order take out or delivery from Ethnic-Owned eateries: https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/list-of-ethnic-restaurants.html<\/a><\/p>\n Restaurants that would like to sign up can do so at: https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/submit-your-restaurant.html<\/a><\/p>\n For more information on Ethnic Food Takeover Initiative happening April 17-19, 2020, or to request that your restaurant be added to the list, please visit https:\/\/www.lehighvalleychamber.org\/business–diversity-councils.html<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the Business and Diversity Councils:<\/em><\/strong> At The Chamber we are pushing for a true 21st Century culture and continue to provide members with the relevant tools necessary for them to complete and succeed in this ever-evolving economy through our Business & Diversity Councils.
