IS CLOSING*
and its workers need your help landing safely
*we will be open for one last week,
dec 13th-dec 16th
new moon cooperative cafe is made up of low-income worker-members who have engaged in operations, finance, bookkeeping, or jobs that many make six figures doing, for minimum wage.
the covid pandemic changed everything for the co-op, and it’s become evident that we have overreached our capacity. we can no longer hold onto this legendary community space and restaurant.
keeping a restaurant open is a challenge but closing during the slow season is proving itself to be quite the challenge as well.
as of right now, we as a collective are struggling to pay ourselves, our rent, and legal fees required to close a restaurant as safely as possible for our worker owners and contingent members.
the operational plate we’ve been served feels massive, and we need help going through it all. please show up for us. as of right now, it looks like we need to raise about $20k to leave new moon as safely as possible.
come through for dine in, take out, or delivery app from december 13th to december 16th. donate to our gofundme, and organize fundraiser events for, and with us.
11 years of holding it down is something to be celebrated, and we would never have been able to do it without a beautiful community of diy-ers, food nerds, and restaurant enthusiasts.
we’re calling on this community to help us out one last time.
contact us on instagram or by email at newmooncooperative@gmail.com with any advice, or helpful offerings.
we will be posting a gofundme for the necessary financial assistance we need in a day or two.
running a restaurant in downtown olympia has become a burden for us, and we want to accept all the help we can get from here on out without shame.
