WHAT IS THIS NIGHT ALL ABOUT?

For a donation of $50 towards TFoR's refugee resettlement project, we invite you to take a cozy gastronomic journey with only 29 other guests.

After accounting for the cost of groceries, all of the remaining proceeds will go directly to helping a refugee resettle in Toronto.

Thanks to individuals like you, we have already resettled one refugee to safety in 2014. With your support we can extend a helping hand to another person in need of resettlement.
