Baked Goods with a Purpose
At Kids Cove Respite Home, we spent significant time searching for a sustainable way to fund our mission of supporting foster families. Our answer came in the form of a community-focused bakery, lovingly run by a dedicated team of volunteers who share our passion for making a difference. From mixing dough to packaging fresh loaves, their time and talents ensure the success of this meaningful endeavor. Every handcrafted sourdough boule and meal is more than just a treat—it’s a way to support foster families families in need of rest. 100% of the proceeds directly fund our nonprofit programs, providing free respite care, safe play spaces, and essential resources for foster families. By purchasing from our bakery, you’re not only enjoying delicious, artisan creations but also helping to create a brighter, more supportive future for foster families in our community.

Collaborative Fundraising: Transforming Property for a Worthy Cause
Introduction: As we navigate the path to secure funds for our organization, we've made a strategic decision to sell one of our owned properties. This particular property, a currently 800 sqft workshop Our vision is to transform it into a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house situated on a spacious 3/4 acre lot. To realize this goal, we are reaching out to our community, seeking collaboration with skilled contractors who can partner with us to complete this housing project.
Project Details: Upon completion, the property will boast two separate 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes. Our objective is to sell these homes in a price ranging from $180,000 to $195,000 each. This endeavor holds the potential to generate a $150,000 profit, covering half of our operational budget for the entire year.
Call for Community Support: Currently, we are actively seeking assistance in various aspects of the project, including drywall installation, electrical work, plumbing, concrete work, painting, flooring, and more. We believe that by joining forces with local contractors, we can not only realize a successful housing project but also make a significant impact in funding our organization's vital operations. Your support is crucial in turning this vision into a reality, and we invite skilled professionals in the community to partner with us on this meaningful venture.
