Helping Park Bait Shop through covid-19
Donation protected
For over 60 years Park Bait Shop, a family owned concession within the Chicago park district, has served the fishing community. Fisherman and friends worldwide have visited this iconic staple of Chicago's lakefront for generations in search of both the essential means of providing food for their families as well as socially distant recreation for all. In the midst of the covid-19 pandemic the city's lakefront has been closed to fisherman and the Bait Shop within Montrose harbor remains inaccessible and restricted from opening. Devastating for Stacey who's life has been spent and invested in Park Bait. This gofundme is being created with her, the family, their customers, and their seasonal workers in mind. The thought of Park Bait not being able to reopen or how the livelihood of those who depend on it financially have been affected is heart aching. Together as a community we can do a small part through donation in helping to absorb the impact that covid-19 has had on this business which has produced such an abundance of great memories for years, and hopefully years to come. #SmallBusinessRelief
