Our donation program will be a huge factor in this mission. Your company’s donation can highly impact the lives of our employees and the community as a whole! Below you’ll find some examples of where the donations of your Donor Tier could impact our day to day operations.

It is because of their generosity we are able to determine how many employees we can hire, how many cakes we can give away, and how much fundraising and profit the bakery needs to make yearly. We are so thankful to anyone who is able to become a monthly donor! Your name or company will be added and stay on our site for as long as you are able to give a minimum of only $1.00 per month. This is our way of saying thank you and recognizing those who support our mission!

Shaun Harrison is a local plumber located in Gainesville, GA who we called to help fix multiple plumbing issues including a leaking sink. Shaun was wonderful to work with and was very knowledgeable. Upon spending time at the bakery and learning about our mission, he generously offered his repair services for free. These repairs would have cost the bakery $1500. He completely took us by surprise and we truly can’t thank The Plumbing Shark enough!!!!
Trophy Case is a company located in Gainesville, GA that creates a variety of different trophies, plaques, acrylics, name badges, and more! This is the local company we went to when we were looking for our custom puzzle piece-shaped name tag as well as our labels for all of our many ice cream flavors.
