While many were continuing to dig out and wait for power to return, Cast's ownership realized how grateful they were to keep the lights and the stove on. "We’re just grateful we can be here today and take care of whoever needs it," according to the post.

It was a touching gesture that welcomed their neighbors with open arms.

"If you’re cold, stressed, without power, or just need a hot meal and a familiar face… come in," the post read.

"Charge your phone, sit down, take a breath, have something warm to eat or drink. No pressure, just a place to feel normal for a little while," Cast posted.

"Stay safe, take care of each other, and if you need us — we’re here," Cast concluded.
