Support Pickford's Sundries: Keep History Alive

Save Pickford's Sundries: A Beacon of Roadside America

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I wanted to reach out to you today with an urgent and heartfelt request. Our beloved historic Pickford's Sundries, a treasured Tampa landmark that has stood as a testament to a simpler time for 75 years, needs your help to continue its legacy.

Why This Matters:

Pickford's Sundries is more than just a building; it is a cornerstone of our community's history. It has been a gathering place for generations. This building and its historic contents represent the stories and spirit of our past.

However, maintaining and restoring such a historic gem comes with significant cost. The preservation of its Art Deco architecture, the repair of its aging infrastructure, and the continued upkeep require substantial financial resources.

Our Challenge:

Over the years, we've worked tirelessly to keep Pickford's Sundries standing strong. Unfortunately, the financial burden has grown too great to bear alone. Recent assessments have revealed that we need $15,000 to cover essential repairs and restoration efforts. This includes:

Structural Repairs

Restoration

Maintenance

How You Can Help:

We are turning to our community and beyond to ask for your support in preserving Pickford's Sundries. Your contribution will directly fund:

Immediate Repairs: Addressing urgent issues to prevent further damage.

Restoration Projects: Bringing back the building's original beauty and neon adornment.

Long-Term Maintenance: Ensuring the building remains a vibrant part of our community for years to come.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference.
