If you know Jodi, you know she’s one of the strongest, toughest people around. She’s been part of the Local No. 7 family for more than 10 years, and in that time she’s become more than just a coworker — she’s family to us, and a friend to so many of the regulars who come through our doors. Behind the bar, she’s the one who makes you laugh, keeps things moving, and shows up with grit and heart no matter what’s going on.

Jodi already stared cancer down once and beat it. Now she’s facing it again — invasive ductal carcinoma — and we know she’s ready for the fight. She’s tough, she’s resilient, and if anyone can beat this a second time, it’s her. She’ll still be working shifts when she can (because that’s just how determined she is), but she’ll need to cut back while going through treatment. We’re putting this together to help with food, living costs, and medical expenses so Jodi can put all her strength where it belongs: into healing. Please help us root for her — donate if you can, share if you can’t, and let’s show Jodi just how much her community has her back.
