Because this is about more than opening a coffee shop.

Take Care exists because I believe businesses are at their best when they’re built with intention and support. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when that support is missing. I’ve also lived through the cost of carrying too much alone. This project is my way forward: a chance to rebuild, to create meaningful work, and to prove that Care can be a real, practical foundation for business.

I’ve spent years helping shape coffee in this community, and your donation helps me continue that story while supporting a broader vision. Take Care isn’t just a place to get coffee; it’s a place to gather, and to reimagine what’s possible. To celebrate strength through community and share in our experiences together. It’s also the home base for Take Care’s Care-Based Coaching and Management: work designed to help other operators feel less alone, operate more sustainably, and build businesses that work for everyone involved.

When you donate, you’re helping fund equipment, rent, buildout, and payroll, but you’re also backing a different way of doing business. One that believes a healthy business depends on healthy people. I believe that businesses flourish when the people inside and around them are supported. That’s why Care matters, and that’s why your support means so much.
