Regular match goers and Anfield natives will have noticed a change at the old Mitchell's Bakery on Oakfield Road. Homebaked Anfield have taken over the premises and are planning to create a community owned bakery in the heart of the community that supports our Club.
They have a problem. They don't have an oven.
A fund raising drive is under way, using the Kickstarter website to generate the £13,000 needed to buy a new oven for the premises. Over £2500 has been raised in a very short space of time. There are also some interesting options available to more wealthy donors, including the naming of a loaf.
Here at RAWK Towers we're keen to help Homebaked Anfield achieve their ambitions, and we are requesting the support of RAWKites all over the world to help them with their ambitions this Christmas. We think it would be great if we could raise £1000 through the site, and get a "Red & White Kob" loaf on the shelves for the beginning of next season.
You can support our efforts by donating to RAWK in the usual manner, and then either notifying us of your support in this thread, or shy donors can PM me here on the site and let me know the value of their donation*.
One hundred RAWKites donating just £10 can make this happen, and in turn give something back to the community that gave us our Club.
What else can you do? You can spread the word by following/liking the project on Facebook and on Twitter.
When you go to the game, go to the bakery - they are open and are trading and they have had a great response at the last home game - make sure you check them out the next time you're at the game or in the area.
* Just to be clear, if we don't make the £1000, we will be donating whatever we raise to the project.
