GoFundMe Established to Facilitate OBX Wake & Take Expansion
Community-driven expansion fundraiser
The love for home-baked goods and breakfast food has triggered a fundraising campaign led by OBX Wake & Take’s owner, Jaclynn Peters. With a desire to feed both the local folks and visitorsof OBX, Peters has launched a GoFundMe campaign. The aim is to generate funds to grow and establish a local bakery that promises a daily dose of mouthwatering breakfast delights.
Peters currently utilises the spacious kitchen at The Cypress House Inn. However, as off-season dwindles down in April, there are concerns about the future availability of the kitchen’s space. Hence, the imperative for an independent bakery becomes critical.
More Than Just a Bakery
Peters reportedly spent considerable time developing and honing her culinary skills before deciding to turn this passion into a livelihood. She hopes to make a noteworthy contribution to the community by setting up a well-established bakery. Given the opportunity, Peters intends to transform such a seemingly humble endeavour – a local bakery – into a household name on the Outer Banks. To this end, she has shared her vision and passion with the public via her GoFundMe campaign.
Supporting the Dream
Those interested in knowing more about this culinary expansion project or wishing to extend help through donations may visit the GoFundMe page dedicated to this cause (hyperlink is not provided here). It is hoped that this public initiative will garner enough support to help Peters realise her dream of running her own bakery and providing delectable breakfast foods to the OBX community.
A Community Affair
In the past, we have seen residents and businesses of OBX come together to contribute to common causes. With the establishment of this fundraiser, it is anticipated that OBX community members as well as visitors will rally around this cause, turning Peters’ dream into a delightful breakfast reality.
In a broader perspective, this initiative also underscores the significance of fostering local entrepreneurship. Businesses like the one Peters aspires to establish not only contribute to the local economy but also complement the unique, vibrant culture that defines OBX.
In these uncertain times, one thing is certain; the flavourful aroma of baked goods and breakfast delights will soon waft through the streets of OBX, thanks to the passionate undertaking by Peters and the generous support from the community.
Let’s Wake & Take
Much as its name suggests, OBX Wake & Take is gearing up to awaken the senses of locals and visitors alike, and then to take the OBX food scene by storm. The anticipation is almost as delicious as the baked goods and breakfast delights that are soon to emerge. Perhaps, the catchphrase for Peters and OBX Wake & Take should be something along the lines of – “come wake with us, and take home some scrumptious treats”.
