Help Mom’s Grilled Cheese,Top Rope & Modern Perogi

We are fundraising to help recover losses due to a devastationg fire that took place on March 25th. The cause is due to street activity out in front of our building on East Hastings Street. Within the hour we lost all of our equipment, prepped and stored food, supplies, signage, bikes, and all appliances.

The current operators include Top Rope Birria, Mom’s Grilled Cheese Truck, Melt City Grilled Cheese, Modern Perogie, Shorba Bone Broth and Green Coast Coffee. This collection of food trucks and producers used the commercial kitchen as a base of operations.

We are extremely saddened to be losing our source of income and sense of well-being due to this loss. This Go-Fund-Me will be split between all businesses, to help them get back on their feet and regain that sense of well-being.

Shorba has set up a separate Go-Fund-Me Page, and we urge you to support that cause as well.

“The Comm”, as it was known, had been in existence for 12 years at the former Uncle Henry’s Restaurant on East Hastings and Princess streets. In 2011, Yasmin McKenzie opened the space which had been an incubator for over 30 small businesses.

Unfortunately, our insurance policies do not cover damage from fire from a source outside of our collective business operations. Our losses are difficult to tally but everything helps at this time so we thank you for any funds you are in a position to donate.

We've been inundated with words of support and comfort. We're so grateful for this, knowing that the community around us is strong, so THANK YOU!

In Gratitude,

Kelly and Yasmin McKenzie,
