Positively 3rd Street Bakery raises $17,000 for Minnesota Mutual Aid

DULUTH, Minn.– For a little over a week, Positively 3rd street bakery dedicated 100 percent of proceeds to helping out Minnesota Mutual Aid, to help families and refugees affected by the ICE occupation.

Bakery staff says, they were blown away at the community support, following the decision to fundraise.

They anticipated a goal of 5-7 thousand dollars but raised over $17,000.

Staff said, the fundraiser gained statewide attention and seeing that mutual support means a lot to the workers.

“It’s just fantastic to see so many different people from all around the city, all around the state, stepping up and, you know, being clear about how what we’re going to do, you know, in unprecedented situations like this. So yeah, it does mean a lot,” said Tristan Brunfelt, employee at Positively 3rd Street Bakery.

Brunfelt said, that period of time for fundraising was on par for their busiest times of the year.
