Support Robyn Fisher and her Mission Smitten Shop
Donation protected
We are writing on behalf of our dear friend, Robyn Sue Fisher, who runs Smitten Ice Cream. On October 25th, her flagship shop in the Mission District of San Francisco was vandalized, badly damaged and plastered with graffiti, the language of which suggests she was targeted as a Jewish business owner (coverage from Mission Local). Authorities are currently investigating the incident as a hate crime. Here are a few images of the damage:
Anyone who knows Robyn knows she's incredibly kind and deeply concerned about, not only her family, her employees, and her community, but also the earth's resources and all of its people. She is joyful, loving, and committed to making the world just a little bit better. With Robyn's commitment to local, natural ingredients and to taking great care of her employees, Smitten is truly an extension of her values as a person.
The purpose of this campaign is to help Robyn and her team pick up the pieces, reopen the shop, and keep it open as a special place to go in San Francisco. We hope you'll join us in surrounding Robyn and Smitten with support.
