Boondocks Barbershop Relief

To our Boondocks family,
It is with a heavy heart I am having to do this. Times are uncertain and as of now there has been no relief from the government.

I have applied for all the loans and unemployment.

Every dollar counts. Whatever you can do is much appreciated. I want to thank everyone who has already donated. If anyone knows of big business’s that are truly donating with no strings attached and immediate help please contact me. We can not wait to see you all back in our chairs.

The Cut Barbershop

The recent Shelter in Place order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are closing The Cut Barbershop  until further notice. We’re a small business we can’t provide our services we don’t get paid. This global pandemic is something none of us saw coming, But here we are, trying our best to stay positive, to support our community by doing what is being asked staying home and keeping others safe. The barbershop is more than just a place to get your haircut It’s a community. We don’t want to lose this special place. In order to ensure we have a place to provide services when the shelter in place is lifted, we are asking for your help. All funds raised will go towards paying the shop bills and upkeep that will be hard to met due to our inability to work for our customers. The community’s health and safety is our highest priority. We thank you for even the smallest donation and we look forward to serving you hopefully sooner than later. take care and be safe

cuisinett

Keep Cuisinett Alive - Cuisinett is a local restaurant serving Regional French Comfort Food. We are located in San Carlos, California. The restaurant opened in 2011 and we had to closed on 03/18/2020 due to the Pandemic Covid-19. We are looking to be able to reopen mid-April or when it will be safe to reopen. Raising money will help us to get back on our feet to pay our employees, the rent and our vendors. Restaurants is a tough business and we do not have much cash flow to survive. This Pandemic has proven how the restaurant industry is so vulnerable. Any support will be gladly welcome and our team cannot wait to cook and serve you again.

We can’t appreciate enough from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support, and we eagerly anticipate the chance to continue our service to the San Carlos Community for many more years to come stronger than ever. We love you & we love our community. #for all the donors every $50 donation receive one bottle of red wine. (Please email to us your info phone number & address).

One Life Counseling Center

ONE BOX FOR ONE LIFE - Since Covid-19 started, we have become a vital resource for our community, providing Food and Basic Essentials to the underserved and unemployed.

During Fridays’ distribution there were over 300 cars in line for food and essential items.  Sadly, we turned away 50 cars because we did not have enough to give out.  Some people cried, some were gracious and some were angry.  Our staff members and volunteers were devastated we could not do more today.  But together,  we can do more, please help us help others.

Our gracious ask is to donate whatever you can, but our goal is 1000 boxes of food and essentials at an average cost of $14. This includes a roll of toilet paper, fresh fruit, a small ziploc of rice, canned food, a dozen eggs and other essential items.

We respectfully ask you to donate whatever you can, knowing that one box is $14. Families all around us are hurting, and this donation WILL make a difference.  

Update: We are incredibly thankful for your generous donations thus far.  This is a wonderful example of our community taking care of each other. Please continue to share our link with friends & families.

tamari Georgian Restaurant

We put a lot of effort in opening our restaurant - Tamari Authentic Georgian Cuisine -  in the Bay Area.  After two weeks of successful operation we were forced to close due to the COVID-19.  Our customers, who became friends in such a short period of time, suggested that we open this donation site. All the money will go to support the operation and employee wages. 
Thanks for your support! Tamari Team

The Refuge

For the past 12 years, the REFUGE has tried to bring the most enigmatic, iconic food to the Bay Area. Whether it's our hand-carved  navel pastrami, the truly authentic Philly CheeseSteaks, or the finest craft beer on the planet, we have done our utmost to protect the origins of true "food of the heart". Now, the REFUGE finds itself on the ropes. We were forced to close both locations (San Carlos and Menlo Park) to protect the health and safety of our employees and the community. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc in the restaurant industry. We are all fighting for survival. We are trying to raise money for the heart and soul of the REFUGE, our employees.  We had no choice but to lay off all 70 people. 100% of funds raised will go directly to help employees who are now struggling to make ends meet. Our employees are some of the finest people that we know. They have given the best years of their life to the REFUGE. Many of you already know them by name. We know we will come back... stronger than ever! Our commitment is to retain the best team in the business. Please help, if you can. THE EAGLE WILL FLY AGAIN Thank you so much for your support, With much love, Matt Levin & Melanie Roth

town

The Avenir Family Meal Fund - We have received an overwhelming response from our patrons and guests asking how they can help the staff at Alpine Inn, Milagros, Nola, and Town - so here is your chance! With your help, we will be able to provide daily, nutritious, hot meals out of our Milagros kitchen to our employees and their families who are most affected by the current circumstances. Opening our kitchens back up also allows a number of our employees to get back to work and feed hundreds of people in need. We have assembled an incredible task force from our management team as well as members of the community that have been working around the clock to make this happen.
