Help Desert Roots Kitchen Re-Root & Re-Locate

After nearly 13 years in the Mill Avenue Shops Courtyard, Desert Roots Kitchen is Re-Rooting to a new location in Tempe. The new location is CONFIRMED and we're looking forward to planting new ROOTS, sharing a kitchen alongside supporting shared values and local businesses, at RAINBOW BLISS BOTANICALS!!!

* Bonus: loads of always free parking and indoor/outdoor seating!

Many businesses in Downtown Tempe have experienced lots of hardships in the past few years and it's finally time for us to relocate! We are NOT CLOSING...

DRK will be OPEN again very soon at RBB, with so much extra amazingness to offer and share with our lovely community.

Your support and financial contributions are crucial right now, and all donations and sharing this fundraiser are greatly appreciated.

What you will be helping us with during this significant transition:

* funds for securing a new lease & deposits

* permits, inspections, & fees ($3500-$4000)

* build-outs, equipment, dining furniture ($2000)

* moving truck/lifgate rental ($350)

* storage unit for meanwhile ($500+)

* labor for moving help, equipment, & supplies

* personal funds for basic living expenses (home rent, food, bills) during this intermittent downtime ($3000+)

* unexpected expenses, fees, challenges that may arrise (currently are accumulating)

* leasing costs, permit fees, inspections ($5000)

Stay in touch for updates as we go up the steps of re-rooting, re-building, and renewing!

* Meanwhile, I am able to provide special orders for private parties, events, meal prepped lunches/dinners for you, in between relocating. Please message, email, call, or text to inquire and place orders within the next few weeks and ongoingly.
