Grand Bazaar NYC was created in order to give back to the local Upper West Side community. Every time a vendor commits to selling their goods at the market, four schools in the surrounding area including PS 87, The Computer School, PS 334 and M.S. M247 Dual Language Middle School benefit. 100% of the net profits from booth rentals, benefit over 4,000 public school children by providing them with much needed school supplies, books, art enrichment and sports programs. The food trucks and food vendors will also be donating a portion of their sales from this event to this worthy cause.
