Welton Street Cafe has been a pillar of Denver's Historic Five Points community for nearly 40 years. We were located at 2736 Welton Street for over 22 years. But with time, comes change. With time, comes growth. But with both comes a need for funding, and this is what we lack at the moment.
We have exhausted our efforts in securing funding from government grants, government loans, business loans, and corporate grants. None of these efforts have been successful, so we are reaching out to our community for support. We are asking you all to support our move by giving what you can. You don't have to give a lot, but anything that you can moves us closer to our goal. This move is for you, so that we can continue to serve you.
If we have our village behind us, then we can continue to serve. Continue to be strong. And continue to be a pillar in Denver's Black Five Points community for years to come.
We are excited to move to our new space at 2883 Welton street. It is bigger and provides us with greater possibilities to serve you all. But right now, the space needs to be built out. We need funding to retrofit the space as a restaurant. We need equipment. We need furnishings and fixtures. We need supplies. We need to make the space look like a restaurant. Though it will be bigger, and newer, and better, we will still be the same down home and down to earth restaurant and space that you have known and loved for decades.
Please support our move. Give what you can. Spread the word. We need you and we need each other to survive.
