Beacon Coffee Staff Fundraiser
Disneyland claims to be the happiest place on earth. That’s a lie. The real happiest place on earth is Beacon Coffee and Pantry on Columbus. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The coffee is amazing. This place has been Pastor Jon’s office for years now.
During this Covid-19 crisis, Beacon is shut down. They have organized a gofundme to help take care of their staff. This is great way that we can tangibly love our neighborhood. Here is the statement from their gofundme page.
Like so many small businesses and restaurants, we have been immediately and heavily impacted by the Covid-19 crisis. On March 16, 2020 we closed our doors, in order to help flatten the curve, and in the interest of our staff, customers, and public health. We are in the process of shifting gears so that we can resume serving our community soon in some capacity, in a manner that mitigates risk and exposure.
Even with those temporary solutions, the impact on our business will undoubtedly be long term. It will be a long road to recovery, but we remain hopeful. In the mean time, we have set up this campaign as a way to help support your Beacon baristas during this uncertain time. Contributions will directly fund the lost income of our baristas and their health coverage. Our baristas are the backbone of our independent, family owned and operated shop, and now more than ever, I cherish them, and want to make sure they have security and a place to return to.
We truly miss seeing all of our regulars and look forward to serving you and the North Beach community as soon as we can. We WILL overcome this difficult time and make it through this together. A big heartfelt thank you to all our supporters, past and present.
Warmly,
Alexis Liu
