STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES

The opening of a new Edgar and Joe's Café in London's Old East Village created a new gathering space serving healthy, local, and affordable food to the neighbourhood. But the unique location of the café at Indwell's Embassy Commons provided opportunities to increase our community impact in new ways.

Beyond its regular operations, the café now delivers daily meals to 72 supportive housing tenants at partner Indwell's Embassy Commons and Woodfield Gate locations. The meals are served in the café after hours, when it becomes a social gathering space for tenants. Knowing that "food affects mood," these meals are an important part of food security and community buildingfortheprograms.

“Our chef designs creative menus with variety to keep things interesting and allows tenants to try new dishes.”
