“Butcher Bar is striving to grow and expand its business and its charitable efforts with organizations such as City Harvest. Receiving this grant would be an unbelievable opportunity to ensure our work continues in Queens and all over NY,” said business owner Kathy Castro.

Butcher Bar must submit a questionnaire outlining a business plan that will result in growth of the business and receive at least 250 votes to be eligible for a grant.

Customers, fans and community members can show support for Butcher Bar by voting at https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com.

Search using Facebook Connect, and then entering either the business name “Butcher Bar” (2 words) or entering zip code # 11103, and then selecting “Butcher Bar.”

The voting deadline is November 15, 2013 and grant recipients will be selected by expert panelists.

Through Mission Main Street Grants, Chase will award $3 million to small business across America. All businesses that apply for a grant and meet the eligibility requirements will receive a special advertising offer from Premier Sponsor, Google. In addition, the 12 grant recipients will be eligible to receive a trip to Google for an exclusive small business marketing workshop with Google experts and a Google Chromebook Pixel laptop.
