Community Corner

As the colder months approach, Community Fridges Toronto (CFTO) is raising funds to winterize their pantries and fridges to avoid the risk of food spoiling due to weather-related damages.

50% of collections will be used to purchase food and goods for the fridges, and the other 50% will be donated to the CFTO go fund me.

For the months of November and December, The Herb Depot will be collecting donations at checkout in increments of 5%, 10%, or 15% of your purchase amount, or a custom amount up to the full amount of your purchase (100%). 100% of collections will be donated to Black Youth Helpline.

Youth founded and youth centred, Black Youth Helpline is grounded in values of respect, education, and health to aid in "productive futures for Canada’s children and youth" (1).

Check out their website to donate directly and learn more about their services and story.
