Have you heard - we've launched a fundraiser!

Earlier this year, we found a beautiful permanent location in the Optimist Park neighborhood in Charlotte, NC.

We're so close now - opening next month but little did we know it would take quite this long.

Our opening date was in August but we, alongside many other businesses, have faced many shipping, permitting and equipment delays due to COVID.

We're coming out of the other side of things but have felt the financial impact of these delays and believe with your help, we’ll be able to raise additional working capital to help reduce the lost time.

We believe in working within our means but have learned that asking for support from our community is very much a part of our means too!

Specifically, we are looking for 50 people to donate $100.

Do you have capacity to support us in this?

If so, here’s how you can:

1. Click the donate button below.

2. Enter the dollar amount you are able to contribute - any donation moves us closer to our goal :).

3. Share this! Do you know a friend or family member that would be in a position to support as well?

We never anticipated that starting a business in the middle of a pandemic would be easy but we're incredibly grateful to be doing it together. This delay has been an expansive reminder that eventually all things that happen fall into place. And as a result, we’ve had a chance to develop more transparency as a company and grow with our community.

Your contribution is greater than you know. By supporting BIRD, you're helping birth a neighborhood staple and family legacy.

We’ll see you soon,

Kerrel & Nkem
