SAVE the original Native Foods Location in PS!

My name is Misti Rausch and I have been an employee and General Manager of the original Native Foods location in Palm Springs, CA for the past 11 years.

Although we have weathered our fair share of ups and downs, especially since the pandemic hit, my team has always worked tirelessly to keep our doors open so that we can continue to serve delicious vegan food to our community of locals and tourists alike, while fulfilling our purpose of inspiring the world to become a kinder and more compassionate place.

The pandemic and ensuing financial impacts and inflation have been devastating to many businesses, especially restaurants. It has broken our hearts to have to shutter many of our other Native Foods locations and see our dear friends lose their jobs, and our beloved guests lose their favorite place to eat.

Sean Reynolds and I are doing everything that we can to prevent the closure of the original location in Palm Springs, but we need your help.

Transfer of ownership to our new company is planned for 11/27/2023. We have already depleted much of our own personal financial resources in this transition, so any additional funds graciously provided by the community will help us in paying rent, retaining new payroll/accounting/tax services, making overdue repairs to the restaurant, etc.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. If you are not able to donate, please share our GoFundMe and Facebook posts.

Let’s keep this vegan dream alive! We want to make it to our 30th anniversary in 2024, and our 40th in 2034!
