VFC (vspot stmarks) STAFF RELIEF & DISASTER FUND
Every day for the past five years, my brother & I, along with our business partner Steve & dedicated staff, have been hustling our plant based eatery in the East Village (even during these last two crazy weeks) only to be forced into closure a few days ago no thanks to Coronavirus. As ordered by the government, we had remained open offering delivery & take out up until our final minutes, but unfortunately, this once busy area has become a dead zone within 48 hours. We even had plans to add in healthy cruelty-free mini-market but with these historically challenging times, small business establishments are getting shattered left & right.
With all that said, we now need any help we can get to pay our hardworking staff. The government claims a lot yet has done nothing to help restaurants during this crisis. Now, of course we completely understand that you are also struggling during these difficult times so even if you can't donate, please just 'share' our campaign.
Lastly, we truly believe now is the time for America to consider incorporating better diet habits & we'd love to remain that option for you with our comfort food. Tough times never last but New Yorkers do & in the service industry, we are now referred as "essential" because calling us sacrificial would be too honest yet we are still willing to do whatever it takes to keep on truckin. THANK YOU ALL!!!
