After a lot of thought and a very heavy heart, I need to share that Porchlight Pantry will be closing, at least for a while.
Even though our time has been short, this bakery meant so much to me. It was a place of creativity, connection, and comfort, and I’m incredibly grateful for every single person who supported it, whether you stopped by once or became a regular. You helped make this dream real.
Unfortunately, my health has taken a turn. I’ve recently been diagnosed with four new chronic illnesses, with the possibility of more still to come, on top of the two I was already managing. It’s been overwhelming, and I’ve had to face the reality that I can’t continue running the bakery while taking care of myself the way I need to especially with the new routines that I will need to learn.
I’m deeply sad and honestly very disappointed that things have to end this way. This isn’t the outcome I ever wanted, and letting go of Porchlight Pantry is incredibly hard for me as I spent so much time planning and building.
This isn’t goodbye forever. I truly hope to reopen at some point in the near future, when my health allows it. Porchlight Pantry is still a dream I’m holding onto.
Thank you for your kindness, your support, and for being part of this journey with me—even for a short time. It has truly meant more than I can put into words.
With love,
Porchlight Pantry
