Restaurants are &#8216;<em>winterizing<\/em>&#8216; to accommodate outdoor dining in the chilly months. And items such as propane heaters are in high demand and as a result, the prices are surging. As the temperature decreases, restaurants and shoppers alike are looking for ways to extend the use of their outdoor spaces, with outdoor propane heaters, fire pits, and outdoor lights. Retailers are reporting sales spike of up to 1150% on patio heaters especially in the Northeast region. In the Southwest, an increase of 816%, and in the West, an increase of 734%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As many restaurants try to recoup the losses that resulted from the pandemic, they will continue to provide outdoor dining during the winter season. The resulting increased demand for outdoor heaters has lead to an increased demand for propane. According to Andrew Rigie, executive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance, 10,500 of the city\u2019s approximately 25,000 eating and drinking establishments have been offering outdoor dining. Many will continue to do so in the winter but need to stock up on items to keep guests warm and sheltered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>These things all cost money when restaurants have little to no money, many have built up significant debt.<\/p><cite>Andrew Rigie, executive director of the New York City Hospitality Alliance<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dining.jpg\" alt=\"propane\" class=\"wp-image-7273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dining.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dining-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 Grants to Help with Winterizing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of 8 grants that will help to alleviate the financial burden that has resulted from the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/191967\/in-kind-support-to-oklahoma-residents-to-offset-the-cost-of-utilities-during-the-covid-crisis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In-kind support of vouchers to Oklahoma residents <\/a>in eligible locations for support during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis.
