Support Lured Market and Grill's Community Efforts

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Mike and I have set up this fundraiser on behalf of Lured Market & Grill, with their full support, as a way to take some of the pressure off of the owners, Paul and Cara, in these trying times. Being a supporter of local businesses, I have been inspired by the way that the Lured team has stepped in to help the community.

Lured Market & Grill has become a key hub for the resilient community that has emerged in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The community has faced unimaginable losses with homes, cars, and personal belongings being swept away, while Paul and Cara have personally struggled with property loss, helicopter evacuations, and countless stresses on their daily lives. All the while, Lured has been serving free food since the first day after the storm. Led by the selfless efforts of Erica (pictured above) and Becky with the help of all the great staff (Veronica, Mallorie, Scarlett, Dan, Tom, Paula, Eric, Skylar, Jake, Scott, Gracie, Marti, Nikki, and Gigi) and many dozens of the Lured friends and family, new and old.

In the past three weeks, they have proudly served hundreds of free meals daily to those affected by the disaster and the incredible first responders who have come to the community’s aid. From day one, Lured has been a beacon of hope and a gathering place for Rutherford County, where meals, stories, and support are being shared.

They’ve provided hot meals, essential supplies, a warm place to connect, and even hot showers for those in need. More than anything, they’ve fostered a sense of community that has been, and will continue to be, crucial for healing and rebuilding.

We are reaching out for your help. Your contributions will enable Lured to sustain their efforts, provide continued support to the community, and aid in the rebuilding process as the entire community tries to navigate the new normal. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Let’s come together and show that when one of us falls, we all rise. Thank you for your generosity and support!
