Help for SB's Lakeside Love Shack Resturant

Donation protected
A little old place where we can get together!
Lakeside's Gem of a Gem ,  SB's Lakeside LoveShack,  like many have been hit hard due to the Corona Virus pandemic.   In the last week they’ve had to temporarily close to help keep everyone healthy and safe. They’ve come up all kinds of creative new ideas and formats to keep the business running during these unprecedented times.  However, the past 2 weeks have been especially hard--as stated for everyone’s health and safety, the restaurant has had to temporarily close.  The plans are to reopen but for the past two weeks  and the next foreseeable couple weeks, the amazing, over the top, heart of gold staff have been without work and thus without pay.  Rent and building bills need to be paid, employees deserve the security of some sort of pay, food needs to be bought to reopen.  I am asking as a personal friend of the owner, Sarabeth, for support.  How does one describe The Love Shack?  
As a Lakeside Loving Business they support Lakeside in so many ways.  The LoveShack  has donated to local schools for fundraisers and teacher support.  They have given delicious made from the heart meals  to the local emergency workers. They've donated proceeds of their sales on special events to the community in various fashion.   Provided local musicians young and young at heart to showcase their talents. They have created community events such as a Trunk or Treat for the community in 2019, Santa visits for kids in 2019 and 2020 and in general if you ask for their support they will find a way.  They’ve Been the setting of school events for family friendly functions and been the venue for several special occasions.
What do locals and customers say about the LoveShack?
My kids alone can't get enough of the place, they love Sarabeth and her team.  I have to pry their Lakeside LoveShack shirts off of them to be washed.  If it's Friday night they want to know how soon can we go to the LoveShack.
