On January 13th, Junction El Cajon restaurant experienced a devastating fire, leaving our dedicated employees suddenly out of work. This unexpected event has turned lives upside down, as our staff now faces the challenge of covering rent, groceries, and other essential living expenses without their regular income. Junction has always been more than just a restaurant—it’s been a gathering place, a second home, and a community built on relationships. At the heart of it all is our incredible staff, who show up every day with heart, passion, and kindness. They have celebrated milestones here, supported one another through hard times, and become family not only to each other but to so many of our guests. In the face of this loss, our team has shown nothing but strength, grace, and unwavering support for one another. Every dollar raised through this GoFundMe will go directly to Junction employees, helping them cover living expenses while we work toward reopening. Your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a message of encouragement—means the world to our Junction family. Thank you for wrapping your arms around our staff and standing with us during this incredibly difficult time. Together, we can help our team get through this and look forward to brighter days ahead.
