Relief Fund for Gaetano's Staff

Donation protected
Dear Friends,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for being a part of my community all the years. I've poured my heart and soul into every aspect of serving you at the restaurant and the market.

Today I share some sad news. Gaetano's market is closing business. It is sad to say goodbye to the place where many of you became part of my family. I started serving food to some of you 19 years ago. It has been the best 19 years of being part of this amazing Forest Park Community.

I had done everything I could to survive the COVID challenges, but the reality is, even with you who have been regulars, COVID impacted the market hard.

This means that the harsh truth is that I have to part ways with my team. Because I cannot take care of those leaving, I am starting this Gofundme to support the staff who have stood next to me, serving each of you.

So I am asking for your support. Any donations will meet the needed relief for the six of my team until they find their next job. It will give them a little bit of security during these challenging times.

Thank you all, and I hope to greet you with a smile a few more times.

Yours Chef Gaetano
