Ottawa Tavern COVID Relief

Hi everyone! My name is Zack Jacobs and I am the new owner of The Ottawa Tavern on Adams Street in beautiful Toledo, OH. As you may or may not know, we celebrated our grand re-opening on March 13th. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were forced to close just 2 days later. While business for us stopped, our expenses did not. While there are some government relief programs available for small businesses affected by this crisis, it seems that because we are such a new business, that we are falling through all of the cracks and not able to qualify for many of these programs.
I am hoping to raise money in order to help cover expenses for the business (rent, utilities, insurance, etc.) in order to weather this strange and difficult time and re-open to bring Toledo a comfortable, inviting place to come enjoy live music, drinks, food, and great times with their friends, and to share my vision for the OT with everyone!

The support I have received from the community in taking over the OT has already been incredible and overwhelming and any support we can be given at this uniquely difficult time would be genuinely appreciated. I truly can't wait to re-open and share this space with you all very soon!
