As Firestorm Cafe & Books enters its second year of operation, we want to expand our cafe and bring customers a wider range of delicious, baked goods and desserts. To do this, we need to buy a refrigerated display case. Due to the depressed economy, we cannot easily obtain an expansion loan from a traditional lender ... so we are looking to you, our community, as a potential investor!

Between May 30th and July 1st, we will be raising capital through the sale of gift certificates in $50 increments. All proceeds will go to our bakery expansion and, as a special “thank you,” we'll add an extra 10% to the value of your certificate!

Your participation will directly support our ability to survive and grow as a community asset!
