This isn't really a "Spotting" so to speak, it is more of a HELP ME PLEA. If this is not allowed, Admin, just let me know.

I own a VERY small restaurant in Cedar Springs (just outside Blenheim). We specialize in Home made, non-processed Comfort & Soul Food. When I started this business 3 years ago I was only making and selling Frozen Foods that I would deliver to Single Seniors or Couples, or Busy Families who wanted to eat well but didn't have the time or ability to be able to do the work. After the 1st 2 years I thought I had a large enough customer base (we deliver in a 100 km radius- even to Windsor) to open in a retail location so that I would have access to a kitchen more than one day a week...So we took the last $10K we had saved and opened Comfort & Soul Restaurant & Catering.

April 1st would be our 1 year Anniversary which is very exciting, BUT, then the WINTER kicked in and Kicked our butts, we aren't going to make it if we don't increase our sales over the next 2 weeks to cover getting our equipment re-certified for another year...I am NOT asking for Donations, I am asking that you LET US cook for you...

We make entrees that will feed 2 people for $8.50 i.e. Cabbage Rolls, Cabbage ROll Casserole, Chicken 'n Dumplins, Potato Bacon, Leek & Cheddar Soup, Mac & Cheese, Southern Fried Chicken, SOuthern Style Fish and SOooo much more. Family sizes are available customized to the size of your family. We can take eTransfers as payment if you don't want to go to the bank. We are very flexible.

We have always tried to "Pay it Forward", if someone needs food and can't pay for it, we won't let them go hungry if we can possibly help! During Holidays if we hear of families that need a Meal, that they would not normally have, to help them celebrate like everyone else. We donate Gift Certificates to several Charities and Dog/ Animal Rescues for fund raising auctions... I just want the chance to continue to pay it forward out of the restaurant!! Can we WORK for you this week and help feed your family and make your life a bit easier? Please.

We have a Face Book Page that has the menus on it or you can call the shop at 519 359 4349. We deliver in a 100 KM radius, there is no charge for delivery to the out lying areas (outside Chatham-Kent) with a minimum order,.

I also want to say that I have received a LOT of critical comments saying I should be ashamed to ASK to be able to cook for people. BUT, even if I have to sacrifice my pride,I will do whatever it takes to TRY to stay open, and, paying it forward.
