We’ve poured everything into building our community deli. Our dream became real at our grand opening—but in the last two weeks, disaster struck. First, a fire in the third-floor apartment, then severe flooding in the second-floor apartment. None of these challenges came from our own neglect. We’ve covered every expense ourselves from day one, but these back-to-back hits are more than we can handle alone.

We aren’t just a store. We’re a neighborhood hub that provides jobs, mentorship, and a sense of community. Closing isn’t an option—we want to keep fighting. We’re raising money to cover cleanup, repairs, and relocation to a temporary space so we can continue serving you while rebuilding. Every donation—big or small—keeps our momentum alive. If you can’t give, please share. Your support means everything.
