Who this fundraiser is for the employees of LBI Cheese Shoppe, hardworking team members in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. After the nor'easter from 9/25/2026 through 9/27/2026, severe flooding destroyed The Cheese Shoppe business and forced the shop to close for the remainder of the year. As a result, the employees are now facing an unexpected loss of income. When a storm closes a shop, it does not just impact a business. It impacts the people who show up every day and depend on that work to support themselves and their families. These are the team members who are always there with a friendly smile and a tasty recommendation, and now they need their community’s help.

These funds will go toward helping The Cheese Shoppe employees get by until the business can reopen or they are able to find other work. Right now, our biggest concern is making sure these incredible team members have support as they face the months ahead. Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference for the people who have been the heart of this business and community. If you are able, please donate to help The Cheese Shoppe employees weather this storm. If you cannot give at this time, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others. Thank you for showing up for this team during such a difficult time.
