For years, Auntie Mary has been serving our family and community with love through her cooking. Her food brings people together — from Sunday dinners to catered plates that feel like home.

Recently, she made the decision to step into something of her own.

Instead of giving up, she is choosing to build something independent, licensed, and fully legal — Auntie Mary’s Kitchen.

We are raising $5,000 to help cover:

• Food Manager Certification (ServSafe)

• Required food handling permits

• Business licensing

• Commercial kitchen rental deposit

• Initial packaging and operating supplies

This fundraiser is not about charity — it is about building a legitimate, certified kitchen so she can operate the right way and continue serving the community safely and professionally.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward:

✔️ Proper permits

✔️ Legal compliance

✔️ Rental kitchen access

✔️ Equipment and packaging

If you’ve ever tasted her food, supported her journey, or believe in doing business with integrity, we would be grateful for your support.

Whether it’s $10 or $100, every contribution helps lay the foundation for something lasting.

Thank you for believing in Auntie Mary’s Kitchen.

We are building this the right way.

We are committed to launching Auntie Mary’s Kitchen the right way — licensed, insured, and fully compliant.

Here’s how the funds will be allocated:

• LLC Registration & State Filing Fees – $820

• Business License & Required Local Filings – $230

• Food Safety Certifications (ServSafe + Handler Card) – $250

• Commercial Kitchen Deposit – $1,200

• First Month Kitchen Rental – $1,200

• General Liability Insurance – $500

• Initial Food Inventory & Ingredients – $400

• Packaging, Supplies & Small Equipment – $400

Auntie Mary is overwhelmed by your support. ❤️
