April's mom, Evette, found us 2 fridges, 2 fryers, and a steamer courtesy of the ARC, New Orleans. We moved the equipment last week. We're waiting for the floors to get finished before they get put in the kitchen.
Hats off to the ARC for donating their unused equipment. Above are some shots of the move.
This is truly turning out to be a 1st person, word of mouth, operation. We have no seed money or support from any foundation. We're just doing it through sweat and help from our friends.
We hope to start writing grants for the kitchen in January - but, with the economy starting to seize up, it's looking like a start-up like ours isn't going to fare too well in the land of very savvy NPO's. We're banking on our blue collar work to make the Krewe De Foudre a viable entity.
We know it's worth it.
