Fire Update: A Huge Thanks, and Ways to Help
by The Bloqs Website Team on August 24, 2024
Dear Valued Customers and Supporters of Top of the Hill Quality Produce,
On behalf of Jackie and Damu Maples, the owners of Top of the Hill Quality Produce, we want to thank you so much for your overwhelming support in response to the devastating fire that has impacted their store. The outpouring of kindness—through heartfelt hugs given early Saturday morning and the many messages left on their blog, emails, phone calls, and social media—has been a source of immense comfort during this difficult time.
While Jackie and Damu may not be able to respond to each message personally, they deeply appreciate every word of encouragement and the ongoing support you continue to offer. Your thoughts and prayers are providing them with the strength they need as they begin to navigate the challenging road ahead.
How You Can Help:
Top of the Hill has been a cornerstone of our community for over 20 years, giving back in countless ways. Now, as they face the uncertain journey of rebuilding, many of you have asked how you can help. Although Jackie and Damu are not ones to ask for assistance, they have graciously accepted the generous offers from the community to support them during this time.
If you would like to contribute, there are two ways to do so:
1. GoFundMe Page: A special thank you to Josiah and Carly Montez-Brown, close friends and neighbors of Jackie and Damu, who have set up this legitimate GoFundMe campaign on behalf of the Maples: CLICK HERE TO DONATE
2. Direct Donations: You can also donate directly through the Top of the Hill website by CLICKING HERE TO DONATE
Please stay tuned for further updates, which we will share as Jackie and Damu begin the process of rebuilding their store.
Thank you for standing by Top of the Hill during this challenging time.
Sincerely,
The Bloqs Website Team on Behalf of Top of the Hill

I know you’ll come back bigger and better. You are great members of the community.

I've been shopping at Top of the Hill regularly since Damu purchased the business and will continue to support them.
No place beats their selection of produce, meats and specialty products.

This brings such sorrow and tears. I have completely enjoyed my time visiting your store. It was truly a treasure in an area where so many small businesses are threatened. I am sending big virtual hugs and support. I pray that you can find a way to rebuild! Love Fran
