Fundraiser. Please donate if you can!
As you may know, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors. Hopefully we will be able to open back up in the future.
In the meantime we need your help! We have started a GoFundMe fundraiser.
We want to purchase food and ingredients from our distributors while our suppliers can deliver, so we can assist in providing food for people who may need help in the coming weeks.
In addition, we (our staff and ourselves) are experiencing significant financial hardship due to all of these changes, and we need help as well.
If you have the means (any little bit helps-even $1.00) please donate to our fundraiser. The funds will help us procure supplies for the people who need them, assist our staff with their immediate needs, and help us to remain viable so we can reopen our doors to you on the other side of this.
Thank you for your help! Thank you for your support!
