Jam Cakery
Bio + how to support: We use only the best ingredients and we never sweeten our cakes with white sugars. We are plant based and are able to work around any allergy or dietary issue. I’m a nutritionist/ chef and care deeply about health and delicious eats. I’m still currently operating during all of this, offering touchless delivery of cakes for all occasions. While we cannot celebrate with friends and family, we can still have special occasions with an amazing custom cake.

ADHD Driven
Bio + how to support: ADHD DRIVEN is an independent fashion label. I dabble in a bit of everything from ready to wear, costume, lingerie and accessories specifically working with up-cycled leather and denim. All pieces are designed and constructed by me. I was working on a leather and denim bag line as well as plans for opening my airstream boutique pop up when Covid hit and I lost all three of my jobs and was pretty bummed. I quickly realized there was a great need for masks and I had the supplies to help people. I pivoted from working on my line to becoming a mask producer. I’m stoked to be able to keep the community I’ve been part of for three years a bit safer in these strange times, and you know…keep it fashion…and save the environment too! I’m all about being a sustainably conscious design label I am zero waste textile-wise and all masks are up-cycled Levi’s denim. They have been hand dyed and given a second life. They are washable, durable and hold shape well. All other scraps are reworked in some way, woven into tapestries or stuffed into giant dog pillows.

Fierce by Sashanny Esthetics and Beauty
Bio + how to support: My name is Sashanny Centeno and I am a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Lash Tech, and Brow and Makeup Artist. I have been doing makeup for 7 years now and have been doing lashes and brows for 3 years. I was born and raised and still reside in Jersey City, and run my business in Jersey City out of my home. I love what I do and love to help women feel beautiful and love creating a welcoming and warm ambiance for them. I have really worked hard to make a name for myself and love all of my clients and love the relationships that I have built with them, and the support I’ve received during this time.
The support I need would be people purchasing gift cards so when I open back up I can service the clients. Having to shut down to keep myself my family and others safe was something I wanted to do no questions asked, instead of staying open even though I work from home, I took all measures serious, no matter how sanitary one could be. When lashing and doing makeup you are not social distancing.
Purchasing gift cards now would help me and my family during this time. The gift cards will have no expiration date and can be used at any time toward any service. All you need to do is hit the book button on my page and purchase a gift card

O’Bagel
Bio + how to support: O’Bagel, Home of the Jumbo Bagel, is one of New Jersey’s most beloved bagel shops, and at its five locations, they’re making bagels the old-fashioned way over a 24-hour process, with each kettle-boiled, hand-rolled and baked on cedar. A family-run operation founded by Sam and DonnaMarie El Hassan in 1995 and today run along with their son Stephen, O’Bagel’s offerings are the real deal, but they’re most famous for their Jumbo Bagels. Let’s just say that “jumbo” is putting it lightly. These Instagram-famous bad boys are roughly the size of a car tire, and can easily feed 20.
These bagels are the real deal, and have been featured on Food Network, “Good Morning America,” “The Today Show” and Bravo. At their Hoboken location, you can find their Instagram-worthy and famous sandwiches like the signature Ridge Diablo and more.
Currently, our Hoboken location (600 Washington Street) is open 7 days a week a until 2PM! We are available for online delivery + pick-up at obagel.net or via Grubhub + Seamless. We recently just launched on Goldbelly so that the O’Bagel fam can have us nationwide!
We are donating to those on frontline during the pandemic which a campaign called Donation Dozens. Customers simply purchase “Donation Dozens” on our site and we match their dozen. This has resulted in thousands of bagels across all locations being donated to medical workers, firefighters, testing centers, and more. Our donations are delivered on Tuesdays, but customers can place orders any day of the week.
