Help Support the Staff of Honeybees Restaurant in Geneva, Ohio
For years, Honeybees Restaurant in Geneva, Ohio has been more than just a place to eat. It’s been a community staple, a place where locals gather, travelers feel welcome, and everyone is treated like family by owners Larry and Irene Hrisko and their amazing team.
On March 31, a severe storm swept through the area, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds reported up to 60 mph. The storm caused catastrophic damage to the Honeybees building — the roof and kitchen vent were ripped off, forcing the restaurant to close indefinitely. What happened was sudden, devastating, and completely beyond anyone’s control. While Larry, Irene, and the crew are heartbroken by this unpredictable disaster, the impact reaches even further. The dedicated staff of Honeybees are now facing a sudden loss of income and an uncertain future while the damage is assessed and repairs are figured out.
This GoFundMe has been created specifically to support the staff of Honeybees. All funds raised will be divided among the employees to help them cover basic living expenses while the restaurant is closed.
If Honeybees has ever:
• Served you a great meal
• Given you a place to laugh with friends and family
• Welcomed you in from out of town
…we’re asking for your help today.
How you can help:
1. Donate – Any amount makes a difference and goes directly to the staff.
2. Share – Please share this fundraiser on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media to help spread the word and reach as many people as possible.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting the incredible people who have poured their time, energy, and love into making Honeybees such a special place for our community.
