Kohler Street Relief Fund

On March 29, the studio was broken into and looted by several people for a period of about 6 hours. Equipment, specialty tools, welders, computers, financial information, motorcycles, a fork lift and products were stolen from everyone at the studio. In total close to $100,000.00 in equipment was taken. 

As we deal with the global ramifications of Covid-19 this added stress has the potential shut the doors for several of these businesses permanently. 

We have tried everything we can to mitigate the damages but we are forced to lean on our community to help support short term financial needs including replacing critical equipment, paying rent, supporting payroll, and cleanup or moving costs. Anything that you can offer will go directly to supporting these small businesses effected by this break in. Texts and calls go a long way to, and thank you to everyone who has supported us emotionally and creatively. 

THANK YOU!


The Kohler Street Collective is a group of makers, builders, and artisans that have operated and supported one another through the ups and downs of small business.
