Request
Currently the bakery where the sisters make the cookies and cakes sold at the monastery shop is located in the same space than the jam workshop, which is not authorized by the Health Services. In addition, this space no longer complies with standards and risk of being closed by the Health Surveillance Agency.
The sisters chose to set up the bakery in a space that was to serve as a garage. They have started the work but are struggling to cover the costs.
Amount required: 20 000 euros.
