Support Brothers Diner 17-Year Legacy

On May 16, 2025, our beloved Brothers Diner—a cherished, Black and family -owned family restaurant located in the ville neighborhood —was devastated by the tornado that tore through our community. In a matter of minutes, the building that housed years of love, legacy, and soul-filled meals was left in ruins.

Brothers Diner is more than just a place to eat. It’s a community space built on the legacy of my father, who started this journey over 17 years ago. Together, we’ve created a home where families gather, memories are made, and our amazing staff has served with heart and pride.

Now, our team—our extended family—is without a kitchen, without jobs, and without the daily joy of connecting with the customers we love.

We’re humbly asking for your support to help us:

• Provide financial relief to our displaced staff

• Cover rebuilding costs and essential repairs

• Replace kitchen equipment and furnishings lost in the storm

• Reopen our doors and bring Brothers Diner back to life

Every dollar will go directly toward helping our team get back on their feet and restoring the heart of our business. If you’ve ever visited us, shared a meal, or supported our mission, we’re asking you to stand with us now.

We are resilient. We are rooted in love. And with your help, Brothers Diner will rise again.

Please donate what you can, and share this with your network. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude and hope,

Gary Thomas
