A community for foodies in Toronto

Thanks to everyone who came out to Samovar Room on Sunday night. FoodieMeet: Bake Off was a great success and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks again to everyone who came out to support us and raise money for The Stop, especially all the bakers! Thanks also go out to the Slow Clap (@side_b and @nicopop) for providing the soundtrack and Ryan Couldrey (@RyTron) for taking the amazing photos above.

All together, we raised about $1800 (unofficial tally) for The Stop. For our first fund raiser, we’re quite proud of that number. $1800 could purchase 72 food hampers for families in need. Thanks everyone!
