On what should have been a time of growth and excitement for our business, tragedy struck. Our Lynnfield location was hit by a drunk driver, causing extensive damage and forcing us to close indefinitely while we assess the full extent of the destruction and determine the path forward.

School Street Foods is more than just a restaurant. It is a family-owned business built through years of hard work, long hours, sacrifice, and the unwavering support of our community. What started from humble beginnings has grown because of our loyal customers, dedicated employees, friends, and neighbors who believed in us every step of the way.

Today, we are facing one of the most difficult challenges in our history.

We are launching this fundraiser with a goal of $25,000 to help us navigate the immediate financial impact of this unexpected disaster. While we work through the insurance process, there are critical expenses that cannot wait.

Your support will help us:

• Provide stability for our employees and preserve jobs during this uncertain time.

• Transition team members to our second location whenever possible so they can continue earning an income.

• Cover payroll obligations, operating expenses, and essential business costs while insurance claims are being processed.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, and your network is another powerful way to help.

School Street Foods has always been built by the community, for the community. We have celebrated milestones together, weathered challenges together, and now we are asking for your support during one of the toughest moments we have ever faced.

Whether we rebuild this location or begin a new chapter elsewhere, we are incredibly grateful for every customer, employee, friend, and supporter who has been part of our journey.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us and helping keep School Street Foods alive.
