Support Selam Ethiopian Kitchen's Recovery and Comeback

Dear friends, family and community,

The purpose of this is to help Selam Ethiopian Kitchen located in Chicago, Illinois that was faced to close due to an eviction. For the past 20 years the restaurant has created a welcoming space for the community to gather, enjoy food and make memories. The restaurant has faced many challenges, including the pandemic and rising costs, but this latest challenge forced to close its doors.

The eviction notice came at a difficult time because the restaurant was preparing for crucial events that could have helped it recover financially.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe will help cover overdue rent payments and court related fees. The goal is to raise $150,000 to cover immediate expenses.

Call to action

Every contribution, regardless of the amount, will help to cover our debt. If you cannot contribute financially, please share this fundraiser with your networks to reach a wider audience.

The restaurant believes in the power of its community and hopes to overcome this challenge with your support. Thank you for your generosity, compassion and support.

With gratitude,

Selam Ethiopian Kitchen

Chicago, Illinois
