To Mark, Shawna and Baker Forinash and all the staff at cafe Moxo, we wish you the best and pray that everything works out for all concerned.

First and foremost, from the bottom of Moxo’s
broken heart, we want to thank the community for the outpouring of support. It truly never ceases to amaze me what an incredible community we share. Not only in times of celebrations but especially during times of unexpected crisis, you all step up and offer unwavering support. Genuinely my family could not be more grateful at this time.

It is with a very heavy heart that we must report that due to the recent fire we are now closed indefinitely until our building has been given the green light to go in and start our assessment of losses and the time it will take to repair.

We will reach out to all of our customers that have future pending orders as soon as we are able. Your patience and understanding is invaluable to us during this time.

Thank You Moxo community, we LOVE you and look forward to serving you again.

With Respect and Love,
Mark, Shawna and Baker Forinash
