With the current state of affairs in our city, only exacerbated by the pandemic, food security is something we feel very passionate about. Community Fridges Toronto provides outdoor fridges and pantries to facilitate the giving and sharing of fresh groceries to those who have excess to those in need. We were very fortunate to be able to work with this organization to donate our time to design this enclosure at their location on College St. The build was led by James Darling with assistance from members of our staff. Beautiful corian solid surface was donated by Willis Design Solutions to make this enclosure safe, solid and most importantly dry in the winter conditions.
