Hi, my name is Krysta and I am one of the managers at Hodgepodge Coffeehouse. As many in the community probably know, Hodgepodge has been a staple in the area for nearly 12 years, and a week ago we were notified that the shop would be closing for good at the end of December. This shop has been a safe place and a community for both staff and customers, and we are all heartbroken at having to finally say goodbye. I am starting this gofundme to hopefully provide some cushion for the staff that is currently working and those who will continue to provide everyone with some damn fine coffee and a kind word or two throughout the coming months. We'll be dividing all funds given amongst the staff when the shop closes on December 31st.

In addition, I will be working to help find places for all of our talented, hardworking baristas. If anyone in the Atlanta area is hiring, please email [email redacted], and we will be passing on job openings to the staff.

To the community that has kept our doors open for the past 12 years, we would all like to give a sincere thanks, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone's faces one last time.
