The Dinner for Ukraine by chefs Brad Smoliak, Jimmy Shewchuk and Steve Buzak, held at the AGA last Sunday, raised close to $40,000 for the Red Cross Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal. Roasti Coffee raised over $10,000 with the Stand for Ukraine coffee project. Confetti Sweets raised over $30,000 via the sale of blue and yellow sprinkle cookies. And now, Cookie Mixes for Ukraine—on their online shop.
The Uproot Food Collective teamed up with the Pierogerie to support Ukrainian families who have been displaced from their homes. They donate all proceeds from sales of the cheddar cheese flavour to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. Expect these to sell out fast!
