Venga Cucina Joins Fred Victor For Street Eats 2021
We have always been passionate about uplifting our community and helping those in need. We first partnered with Fred Victor last February 2021 as part of or 4-weeks of charity initiative where $1 from each pinsa sale for a week was donated to the charity. We joined forces once more for the Share The Love campaign where $2 from each pinsa sold between Oct 5th - 10th was donated. We were beyond excited to work with them again on their Street Eats 2021 event that was held on November 3, 2021.
Street Eats 2021
Hunger was a problem in Toronto long before the pandemic – with nearly one in five families dealing with food insecurity. Last year, Fred Victor provided over 200,000 free or low-cost meals to people in need of good, healthy food. Amid COVID-19, the charity doubled the number of meals they serve in a day.
For Street Eats 2021, Fred Victor is partnering with top Toronto restaurants and chefs.
"In addition to addressing food insecurity in our city, Street Eats 2021 will support local businesses who have been so deeply impacted by the pandemic," said Fred Victor CEO Keith Hambly. "On November 3rd, we can all come together to celebrate missed milestones with loved ones and enjoy wonderful cuisine in one of the top foodie destinations in the world."
The event brings attendees together to enjoy a street food-inspired dinner at one of a select group of culturally diverse local restaurants.
With a goal of raising $250,000, ticket sales will help Fred Victor continue to provide vital food services for people experiencing poverty and homelessness.
We had such an amazing time hosting the attendees of Street Eats 2021 and can’t wait for 2022!
Along with its community meal service, Fred Victor also offers employment and training programs that use food as a tool of empowerment – such as urban community gardens and food skills classes. Participants gain confidence, improve their health, and ultimately, have opportunities to build a life without poverty.
Equitable Bank is the Presenting Sponsor for Street Eats 2021.
Participating restaurants include: Adda Bistro, IMM Thai Kitchen, iSLAS Filipino BBQ & Bar, Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant and Richmond Station.
