Meet the Chef:

J
Chong

 

"I took a risk when..." Chef J. Chong of Asheville, NC,  quit her job to launch her own business—right as the COVID-19 pandemic began to hit the United States. Now the first-generation Cantonese-Canadian is making a name for herself in the culinary world, pivoting her business J. Chong Eats to meet the unusual demands of a socially distanced world.

The Asheville Strong Fund is a year-round crisis relief fund that provides microgrants to locally owned and operated small businesses in Buncombe County.

Intended to help alleviate business operation costs that have been impacted by COVID-19 and beyond, this fund is designed to help our vital small independent business economy thrive in the face of challenges. Crises such as a pandemic, state of emergency or mandated shutdown, environmental crisis or act of nature in which a business is not covered by traditional insurance benefits or funding create a support gap where small businesses and sole proprietors are particularly vulnerable.
