Willow Rest could use some love

FOB Emily Matthews wrote in to let us know that Willow Rest’s refrigeration unit went kaput Friday and It was super awesome that Melissa (the owner) was able to donate everything to the “Open Door” in time.  Dave Tucker said they had trouble getting in touch with Open Door because it was after hours but he drove down to see if there was a number that he could call to receive this food before it spoiled he passed a lady walking down by the boat ramp and tennis courts and stopped and asked her if she worked at the open door and she said yes so she waited an hour or so till he came back with all the goods from the walk in at Willow rest. So a Big Thanks to that nice lady who stayed and waited for him to get back on a Friday night! Dave said that they hope to get the new compressor on Monday or Tuesday maybe a day to prep to reopen for Wednesday or Thursday.

In Emily’s words…”They will need, and so totally deserve, our very best help and devoted patronage once they’re back up and running. Hight of their season; huge expense hit; and all those hard working folks outta work for a critical period of time”.

I can’t imagine how hard of a hit it is to have to replace it all and start up again as well as fix the unit!  So….if you haven’t been by to try their awesome breakfast sandwiches, focaccia’s (my fav is the sausage and apple!), grabbed some fresh produce for the day or you need an event catered… make it a point to stop down after they reopen and give them some love to get them back up to speed!  ❤
