hero for a day, hero for a month!

.

.
Dufflet Pastries is proud to participate again in Second Harvest's workplace fundraising initiative to help feed Toronto's hungry.

This year's event (formerly called Lunch Money Day) takes place on February 13 and has evolved into Second Harvest Hero Day.

from their website http://secondharvesthero.ca/
"...Every day we’re faced with the injustice of good food going to waste while people go hungry. By being a Second Harvest Hero you can help us rescue excess food, that would otherwise go to waste, and deliver it to hungry people in need across Toronto.

Get involved by signing up your workplace to raise funds, volunteering, making a donation or joining us on February 13 as we spread the word about food rescue in TTC stations and PATH locations across the city."

All 3 Dufflet cafes will be involved, and from February 1-28 (yes, a whole month!) we will donate $1 from the sale of our amazing Cowboy Cookies (price $1.80 each)

So go ahead, be a hero - it looks good on you!
