Help community fund a cafe in Anacostia! Deadline is tonight!

The NURISH Food + Drink Clovest campaign is scheduled to close tonight at 11:59pm. 

We are a little more than half-way there but we need to bridge the gap! This is one of those 'all or nothing' campaigns -- if we don't raise the total $15,000 in loan pledges the cafe doesn't get any of the money. To become one of those generous people go HERE to make your loan pledge.

33 generous people have already pledged $8,100 in loans that will be paid every 12 quarters (that is 3 years). For example, a $50 loan is paid with 12 payments of $4.17. Loan pledges can be from $25 to $5,000 (where is a corporate sponsor when you need one?!)

Regardless of where you live --- it doesn't have to be east of the river --- we could use your support. Ward 8 has approximately 73,000 residents but we only have 4 sit-down places to eat. We are literally in a food dessert when it comes to healthy food options. We need you to help us attract and retain quality small business that provide healthy and diverse food options. Your loan pledge provides a DC small business with a 0% interest loan.

Go HERE to read an interview that Clovest did with Kera Carpenter, owner of Domku in Petworth about why she wants to open the NURISH Food + Drink cafe in Anacostia.

Please read and hopefully give!!!!!
