This post is really late in writing but I wanted to tell you about a great initiative that is hosted by some of Canada's top restaurants that benefits Community Food Programs.  

On October 18th, 2017,  I made reservations at Baro restaurant on King Street in Toronto with a few friends for dinner.  I went to Baro for the preview for the fundraising event and decided to go back for dinner and try their regular menu.  

The fundraiser is easy for people to participate in without doing anything different than what they usually do because all you need to do is make a reservation at a participating restaurant.  You go out to eat on the designated night which was October 18th and the restaurant will donate 50% to 100% of the total food sales from the dinner service to support local community food programs in low-income neighbourhoods.  So all you have to do is dine out to do good.  It's really a win win for everyone.

Since 2014 Restaurants for Change has raised close to $600,000 with this program.  The people in the restaurant industry are really generous with their time and efforts and this makes a huge difference in people's lives.  The programs provide access to healthy food,  and build skills and community.  

Your fun delicious dinner will help make a difference in the lives of Canadians who struggle with food insecurity and poverty.

Sari is a pescatarian and she ordered the Fish tacos which she loved.

Nimu and Domenica ordered a bunch of things including the ceviche, the octopus and the chocolate truffles below which we all tried.

I ordered the mini empanadas and they were hot and so flavourful.

We had a great night catching up and eating great food and it's great to know that it does a lot of good for other people beyond us leaving the restaurant.  I hope you get your reservations in order for the next edition of Restaurants for change.  For more information and to donate check out the website below.
