Tugger's Cafe (Joe and Tugger Francel)

June 27, 2021 was a dark day for my Aunt Tugger and Uncle Joe as well as two tenants who lived above the cafe. Tugger and Joe are the proprietors of Tugger's Cafe in Augusta , WI. If you are from the area I KNOW these two have touched your lives in one way or another. Either from their own giving spirit, or maybe a meal or two, and most defintely a laugh or two!. Tugger and Joe are two of the most giving people you could meet. On 6/27 the building that has housed Tuggers Cafe since forever was completely destroyed by a fire.

To help you understand how this family prioritizes, within hours of their livelihood going up in smoke Tugger was posting and raising funds and finding clothing and supplies for two families that were tenants above the Cafe who also lost everything today as well. I would like to keep these families in mind with the giving as well. If you know Tugger and Joe....I imagine they will makes sure some of what we are able to raise here makes it to these two families as well.

We have seen that life throws challenges all the time. Tugger's Cafe was a staple and meant so much to the community of Augusta. They were able to survive the Covid pandemic but truthfully this is bigger and more impactful on their livelihood and life goals. Please consider making a donation to donation to Tugger and Joe and let's help them as much as they would help you!
