When this generous restaurant owner was down on his luck, a grateful community swooped in to help

Originally of the pandemic, enterprise at normally bustling Sakina Halal Grill in downtown Washington, D.C., had so slowed that proprietor Kazi Mannan determined to shut the Pakistani-Indian restaurant for a couple of months. When he reopened in July, only some clients trickled in. He stated he was making simply $500 to $600 a day in gross sales, in contrast with about $80,000-$90,000 a month earlier than the restrictions.
