BSC & Tea Co. aka Charlie's and Community

Donation protected
I have initiated this fundraising effort not just to combat the more immediate economic impacts being felt by Bridge Street Coffee & Tea, but for others in the surrounding area as well. While many government based stimulus options for both individuals and businesses are being proposed and discussed, for many individuals and businesses time is of the essence.  My plan and intention with this campaign, admittedly a lofty one, will be to assist other small operations and individuals in the community that, like BSC&TCo., operate as much like family units as they do business associates and team members... that are in more immediate need of resources.  With the money raised l will be able to give my own employees some peace of mind and security in their jobs as they so give me when I entrust them with my 'baby'...because  I want nothing more than for  their concerns, as well as those of so many others in the community to be more focused on taking care of their own health and that of their families and not on whether or not they will have a job in a month.
    Over the last 12+ Years, Bridge Street Coffee & Tea Company has been known as many things to the many different people it serves. To some we are simply a coffee shop, to some we are more a restaurant, to some we are a satellite office, conference room, meeting place or study space...to some we are simply a hangout, the nature of each visit being unique and special to the individual.  While some would say we are unlike any other place in the area, I have come to feel that we would be more aptly described as somewhat of a mini representation of the whole of LaBelle.  An incredibly diverse mix of so many different age groups, social echelons, career fields, and political points of view. Each offering its own take, having its own place, and contributing it's own little twist to this amazing little community.  This is a campaign for operations and the individuals that keep them going that make this community as special as it is, the operations that collaboratively make this community my home.    
    It is with immense gratitude that I thank you for the support that has sustained us to this point, and equally so in advance for anything you can and are willing to offer in this uncertain time.
