Help for Full Circle Cafe!!

Hello! We are a small group of customers who visit frequently and love Full Circle Cafe, in Stevensville, MI.

Many of you probably know the owners Jayme & Ryan. These two people have overcome so much in their own lives, but have never let any of it stop them from making giving back to their community a top priority.

Covid hit small businesses hard. Creativity to stay open was a must, and through it all, Jayme and Ryan still put the community ahead of themselves. They found a way to prepare and deliver food to feed healthcare workers during the long shutdown. Over the years they have sponsored youth events, supported community events, and been a safe place for all. These are just a few of the heartfelt gifts from this wonderful husband and wife team.

But now we've heard that Full Circle needs OUR help.....and in a BIG way! The following message was recently posted on Facebook by Jayme, and we knew we must do something to help.

Dear Friends,

We could really use your help right now. For nearly 7 years, we have been blessed to serve this amazing community, and through every obstacle (and there have been many), there have been SO MANY lessons. It seems we are in the middle of yet another learning curve as we currently find ourselves facing some serious financial challenges. We are doing everything in our power to keep our business OPEN and trying to turn things around quickly from the inside out, (i.e., connecting with all of the resources we can find, cutting payroll costs, updating our menu offerings, looking at new ways to serve you, etc.). Frankly, we are making changes to our business model that we should have made a long time ago, but you know what they say about hindsight.

In the meantime, we ask that you send us positive vibes, along with sending as much business our way as you possibly can. We promise to keep you in the loop every step of the way, and we invite you to communicate with us with your feedback as we try to find our way through this. Your opinion matters so much.

We’d like to thank the wonderful humans we work with for sticking by us during this uncertain time. We’re asking a lot of our Full Circle Crew right now. We’ve even had to let some really great people go this week. It has not been easy. We ask that you give our team (past and present) lots of smiles and kudos if you have the opportunity. They really are extraordinary people. Every single one of them.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of both your daily routines and your special moments over the years. It has been our greatest honor.

Jayme + Ryan Bendoski

This campaign is started in hopes of helping Full Circle.

Every dollar donated will be considered gifts to be used for any needs or expenses to help right-side the business in their quest to keep the Cafe' open. When a restaurant faces serious financial challenges, there are no guarantees, we know. We are only hoping to lend a helping hand toward the possibility of saving this happy place.

We, as a group of fans of Full Circle, love this" little cafe with a big heart". Many businesses are struggling, we know.

But Full Circle has our hearts, and we hope to return some of the love with these gifts. Thank you.
