December - February Donation Drive : Community Fridges Toronto (CFTO)
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.
