Help raise funds for a Community Kitchen

FREMONT, Calif. - Oct. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- To help fund it, Harris is turning to the community to raise $7,500.00. Backers aren’t paid back with interest though.  Instead they get perks and rewards for being early supporters.  For example, those putting in a 100.00 will get A Virtual hug, a Art Card to say Thank you, 2- 5” pies, 5% off your 1st order and your name on the backer wall. Those who bump up to the Partner level for $250 receive .  3 -5” pies a pie making party and your name on the Baker wall. For a thousand dollars ,you become a “Big Cheese”  A Wine & Pie party, a three month supply of pies, a cup of coffee and conversation with me.

“We really think this will be a unique thing for Fremont,” says Harris. Menu items include , Wine, Beer and Spirit pies. Sweetened naturally or with Agave, it depends upon on the recipe and flavor.  The atmosphere too will be unique: creating a local community hangout for conversations, cooking demo’s, pie making parties it’s going to be your local marketplace. Mari-Lyn has more than 10 years hospitality, business development experience; is a people person who enjoys meeting new people and making a difference.

To handle the process, Harris has teamed up with a web site called Foodstart. its founder, Alex Sheshunoff, says that crowdfunding sites - especially those focused on specific industries - represent the future of small-business financing.  “But it’s not a new idea,” he acknowledges, “In 1923 The Green Bay Packers did the same thing by offering early backers a special entrance, behind the scenes tours, and discounts. They now have 360,000 members – and the most passionate fans in football.”
