Statement from CDS Director of Enrollment Management Diane Larrabee:
My son owns Big Stump Brew Co. in Sacramento. I’m a small investor in the company but it is definitely his business. He has had to close his taproom and is relying on take out, delivery to existing store businesses, and online orders to survive. If you love great beer, please consider ordering a case (minimum order), delivery only available in California. You can order at https://my-site-109634-108324.square.site/. You can read more about Big Stump at https://www.bigstumpbrewco.com/. Stay safe and healthy!

Families may support SF’s amazing health care workers AND local restaurants that may be struggling. To contribute to this project, please email CDS parent Amie Lewis at . Let her know your pledge amount and your Venmo (preferred) or Paypal handle. Once pledges reach $1,000 you will receive a payment request. Groups or individuals can sponsor a meal from one restaurant to one hospital (50 workers) for $1,000. “I would like to gather pledges and sign up to sponsor a meal when pledges reach $1,000.” For more information, see this Medium article.
