Hello friends, family, and community members,

My name is Shanika Henderson, and together with my co-founder Reco Henderson, we’re excited to bring a new local gathering place to life — R&S Café – “Take Time to Relax.”

R&S Café will be a small, cozy neighborhood café serving fresh breakfast, lunch, smoothies, and specialty coffee made with love and locally sourced ingredients. Our goal is to create a warm space where people can slow down, connect, and recharge — whether you’re meeting friends, studying, or just stopping in for your morning latte.

We believe good food, great coffee, and a welcoming environment can help strengthen our community, one cup at a time.

We’re currently in the startup phase, preparing to secure a location and complete all the steps needed to open our doors. While we’re investing what we can personally, we need your help to cover the essential costs of getting off the ground.

Your donations will help us with:

Business registration, permits, and licenses

☕ Initial equipment and furnishings (coffee machines, tables, seating)

First round of food and beverage inventory

Branding, signage, and promotional materials for launch

Utilities, technology setup, and startup supplies

Our initial funding goal is $15,000, which will allow us to officially open and begin serving our community in the Winter Garden, Florida area, or surrounding areas.

Our Vision

R&S Café isn’t just a business — it’s a place where people can take time to relax, enjoy a meal that feels like home, and know they’re supporting a local, family-run venture. We plan to hire locally, support nearby vendors, and host small community events once we open.

Your support — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this campaign — means the world to us. Every contribution brings us one step closer to turning this dream into reality.

Thank you for believing in small businesses and helping us build something meaningful together.

With gratitude,

Shanika & Reco Henderson

Founders, R&S Café
