Keep Aurora's Cafe Alive!

Aurora's Cafe and Gifts is in danger of closing... but YOU can help!

As a family owned small business focused on providing allergy-friendly foods and sweet treats and supporting other local small businesses, we feel we are offering a much needed service to the community. We hope you feel that way as well! Unfortunately, if we cannot raise some funds soon we will have to shut down. Our heating system is in need of some major repairs that as a small business, we simply cannot afford.

I'm sure you all have the same questions we did:

-Can't you just pay the repair company in installments? No. This is not an option.

-Why is the landlord not paying for it? HVAC maintenance responsibility is written into our contract. Again, not an option.

-Why don't you just move somewhere else? There is nowhere to move TO.

-Can't you just get a loan? Nope.

Yes, we have explored every avenue we can think of. This is our last resort effort to save our beloved cafe.

If Aurora's has made an impact in your life and you want to see us stick around, I implore you to consider donating.
