FUNDRAISER INFO‼️@rubyswestend are in need of help from our community members after having their rent doubled on top of 18+ months of pandemic challenges.

With limited seating capacity, it’s extremely difficult for restaurants to maintain business models + wage structures that takie care of team members.

$$$ raised will be used for space upgrades including raised garden beds and bistro + banquette tables; garden beds will supply the restaurant with produce & herbs while enhancing the experience. The resulting revenue increase will help in-house programs for supporting community services for 14,000+ local residents.
