~ Tufts University is once again taking a stand to support small businesses and restaurants in Boston's Chinatown with the 4th Annual Cherish Chinatown Restaurant Challenge. The challenge, which runs throughout the month, invites students, faculty, and staff to order from locally owned Chinatown restaurants and bakeries for dine-in, take-out, or delivery.
This initiative was first launched in Spring 2021 as a response to the economic hardships and anti-Asian sentiment that heavily impacted Boston's Chinatown during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a sharp decline in sales even before official mandates for non-essential business closures and physical distancing, students from Tufts' Dental and Medical schools took action with support from the university to create this challenge. Their goal was to raise awareness of Chinatown's rich history and cultural significance while also highlighting the importance of supporting local businesses.

In 2023, the Tufts community made 500 purchases across 84 different restaurants and cafes, furthering the mission of the challenge and showing their support for Chinatown businesses. This year's challenge has already gained momentum with a resolution adopted by the Council emphasizing the importance of maintaining this support for immigrant-owned businesses. The resolution stated, "By supporting these restaurants—whether through shopping locally, advocating for more language resources, or speaking out against racism and discrimination—we contribute to the vitality of Chinatown and its communities."
The Council recognizes Tufts University's Cherish Chinatown Restaurant Challenge as an important step towards ensuring the success of immigrant-owned businesses in Boston's Chinatown. They encourage all members of the Tufts community to participate in this initiative and show their support for local small businesses.
