Help The Getaway Cafe

Donation protected
We’re raising funds to support our dear friend Shawn—someone who’s poured his heart, soul, and countless late nights into building a place that felt like home. Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Getaway Cafe—a true neighborhood sanctuary—is being forced to close its doors.

If you’ve ever stepped into The Getaway, you know it was more than just a bar or café. It was a refuge. A celebration spot. A place to laugh, to cry, to connect, or just to breathe. Whether you were toasting to the good times or quietly escaping the hard ones, The Getaway held space for all of us.

Now, we have a chance to help Shawn start anew—to build a new version of what made The Getaway so special. A space where community thrives, where everyone is welcome, and where the spirit of inclusion and comfort lives on.

If The Getaway ever meant something to you, please consider donating. Let’s honor what was—and help create what’s next.
