Claypot Waco Relief

Dear Waco Community,

It is with deep sadness that we bring you this news.

On the afternoon of January 20th, a break in the water line in the upstairs space of Clay Pot Restaurant flooded the entire restaurant. This flooding caused immense damage from the top to the bottom of the restaurant. Unfortunately, it covered almost the entire space including the kitchen, office, utility room, the entire left side of the restaurant and half of the right side. Thankfully, they were able to get everyone out of the restaurant in a timely matter and all guests and staff were unharmed.

The construction team’s insurance is assessing the damage to determine how much it will take to bring this business back to life. Due to the severity of the damages, they will be unable to use the space during reconstruction. This begins a marathon of uncertainties for the Clay Pot family and staff. During this time, Clay Pot management has expressed their dedication to taking care of their employees first. They began fundraising at this year’s Lunar New Year festival to get them kickstarted for their employee fund. In the meantime, to continue to support their staff and employees and begin the journey of recovery as a small family business, we are starting a GoFundMe to help support this beloved restaurant in our community.

Clay Pot Restaurant will be closed until further notice. Please continue to check their social media pages for updates and progress during the rebuilding process.

We appreciate each and everyone one of you for whatever support you can contribute through prayers, gifts, time, or talent.
