SF New Deal, launched by volunteers to save restaurants in the COVID-19 lockdown, has funneled $45 million to The City’s small businesses

The money pays for meals and varied other purposes, including storefront improvements, training, technical assistance, and alleviating debt. Friends rallied around Estrada, including SF New Deal co-founders Jenais Zarlin and Jacob Bindman, a recent college graduate who had previously worked for Estrada.
