Support Kopi Cafe Staff Tip Jar

Donation protected
Since 1991, Kopi has served the Andersonville community good coffee, relaxed hangs and simple cafe fare.

At the heart of it all is our staff.

I'm Aiden, a server at Kopi. I'm starting this fundraiser in the hopes that the love we feel for our regulars and customers may come back to us in this time of need.

Our servers all agree that the regulars and community members who visit Kopi several times per week fill our little hearts with joy, and we're terribly sad we can't see you right now.

Kopi staff (Servers, Baristas, Dish, Cooks and Managers) are unemployed indefinitely due to the virus. Many of us do not have any other source of income.

There are 19 of us hourly staff total, 11 of whom rely on your generous tips to pay our rent, buy groceries and support our families.

All funds raised will go directly to my fellow staff members as our livelihood is entirely dependent upon you. Any levels of support are much appreciated and every dollar helps.

We will be withdrawing donations weekly and dividing 100% of them (after GoFundMe fees) between Kopi employees. The amount we are trying to raise is to cover basic living expenses  (rent, food, utilities) for all 18 employees for two months, around $970 per person per month.

All our staff is so GRATEFUL to you for your generosity during this time! #SmallBusinessRelief

Please also consider ordering for pick up, as our kitchen is still open.

We are so excited for the day we can open our doors again and give back to you, the community, that has supported us so much.

Stay safe! Stay healthy! We love and appreciate you all!

LOVE,

Aiden
