Help Save Lords Bakery in Brooklyn!

Donation protected
My name is David Wayne Drake II, son of the owner David Wayne Drake, and I am trying to raise funds to save the business.
Lords Bakery has been a beloved staple in the heart of Brooklyn for over six decades, providing delectable treats and warm smiles to its loyal customers. However, the rising costs of operating a small business in the city have pushed us to the brink of closure. Despite our best efforts, we are struggling to keep up with the mounting expenses while maintaining the same level of quality and service that our community has come to expect.

The unfortunate truth is that without intervention, Lords Bakery may soon have to shut its doors for good. As much as we hate to admit it, we simply cannot continue on the same trajectory without significant changes. We have explored every avenue to cut costs and increase efficiency, but without substantial financial support, our options are limited. That's why we're turning to you, our cherished patrons and supporters, to help us preserve this cherished institution.

Your generous contributions will support immediate expenses and enable vital upgrades and innovations, ensuring Lords Bakery's long-term sustainability. These enhancements include investing in energy-efficient equipment, optimizing our supply chain, revamping our website, introducing delivery services, and expanding our social media presence. Every dollar raised will directly contribute to legal efforts to keep Lords Bakery as a vibrant and integral part of the Brooklyn community for years to come. Thank you for your support during this critical time. Together, we can preserve Lords Bakery's legacy for future generations to cherish.

All funds will be going directly to the savings account of the company and none will be going into any account in which I have access.
