Help a family business in our community stay alive!

Dear friends,

You signed our petition, and we are incredibly grateful for your support!

Thanks to the 11,500 people like you who stood behind us, our bakery is still here. However, we now face a major hurdle to keeping our family business alive: unforeseen zoning violations mean we must purchase the property where we operate in order to rezone it, secure our two essential trailers, and guarantee we can stay on Lookout Mountain.

We have invested our lives into this community. Saving the bakery is our absolute priority right now, because securing this permanent home is what allows us to keep our doors open and eventually continue our long-term mission of supporting a vital non-profit organization. We desperately want this community space to stay alive, but the path ahead is expensive, and we have until June 5th to raise the full purchase amount.

We have done our due diligence to secure these funds, but due to administrative causes such as not being 2 years old, or one of our owners still waiting on her citizenship, (we are just waiting for her interview, should come very soon) these loans have been denied.

We invite you to be a part of this next big chapter. Every bit of support makes a meaningful difference - whether it's a donation or a loan of $10, $100, $1,000, or whatever amount feels right for you.

If you are interested in helping or in learning more about our vision, please email me or stop by to chat in person.

With gratitude,

Rachel Dufour

Et Voilà! French Bakery
