Please help out if you can! Any small donation helps. I admire the owners of Zaaz for their vulnerabilty. Our economy is currently so difficult to navigate, so I am asking you to please consider supporting local business! It truly does take a village ❤️

We’ve heard your messages loud and clear – and we’re incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support and love. Many of you have reached out asking how you can help, and whether we’re open to fundraising, and we want to be upfront with you about where we stand.
Yesterday, we looked at a few potential downtown locations, and loved two of them! But the cost of demolishing the village and returning the building to its original state has left us in a tough financial spot. Unfortunately, we’re not in a position to fully fund the rebuild of the village, ourselves.
We’ve started a GoFundMe to raise the funds needed to get our village rebuilt, and we’ve got more fundraising ideas in the works. But we want to be completely transparent with you: we’ll only be able to reopen if we can cover the startup costs. If we don’t reach our goal, every single donation will be refunded. 🫶🏼
However, if we do meet our goal and are able to reopen, everyone who donates and keeps their donation reciept will be invited personally to a reopening party to celebrate the village we’ve built together.
We’re really hoping we’re able to make this work, and reopen our village as a community and continue connecting with so many of you.
