Vivian & Team Need Our Help!

Donation protected
Please help a beloved member of our community!

The last two nights Vivian was closed because of the city water problems. The restaurant lost $10,000 in critical revenue. Their hardworking staff didn’t get paid and the team lost thousands more in tips.

Shannon, Josiah and their incredible team have been warming hearts with their boundless hospitality and delicious food for five years now.

Each night, Josiah and Shannon welcome guests to Vivian - making each customer feel cared for and loved. While they make it look easy, running a restaurant is anything but. Restaurants like Vivian have razor-thin margins. Losing two nights of holiday revenue is an extraordinary loss.

Vivian will never be able to make back this revenue. It is forever lost. Customers can come in the future, but that cannot make up for the last two nights.

Please make a contribution to help. Help us spread a message of hope and support to Vivian. Help us show the Vivian Team - Shannon, Josiah and their entire staff - how much we value them. Help us return some of the care, love and affection they have shown all of their customers.

Your contribution will go directly to Vivian and their staff. Each dollar will help ensure this wonderful restaurant can continue to thrive and thrill customers with its delicious food, charming atmosphere and warm hospitality.

Who will this contribution help? Your donation will make a difference to Shannon and Josiah, and also to every member of their incredible team:

The welcoming front-of-house staff: Sal, Porter, Corey, Ciaran, Aubrey, Robyn and Adam

The talented kitchen crew - Eli, Lyndon, Diego, Will, Storm, Jimmy and Sam

Please show them some love!

Every dollar counts. Please help!

Wishing you all a happy, healthy new year.
