Queens Chamber Businesses of the Week

Dear Friends of the Queens Chamber of Commerce;

After working hard from the confines of our home offices and fielding so many calls from all over Queens, the Staff of the Queen Chamber decided to choose 5 businesses to feature each week who are all doing great things during this surreal time. So, here are our first 5 for the week of April 6th. If you know of a business going above and beyond that you want considered, kindly email us at info@queenschamber.org for consideration. Thanks!

Stylish Print & Design Gallery - When his machines were forced to stop by the coronavirus outbreak, Vinicio Guevara thought of ways to convert his card printer machines to help. Using his creativity, this Ecuadorian immigrant entrepreneur found a way to make 25 masks in one day and personally delivered them to Elmhurst hospital in Queens.
