On Wednesday October 19th at 7 pm, Groundlevel Cafe invites you to help them PAINT THE TOWN: GREEN!
For several years now, the Ground Level Café has been serving fair-trade, organic coffee as a matter of principal. According to owner Mike Wood Daly, with their cafe providing careers for at-risk youth – serving coffee off the backs of exploited workers and in ways that harm the environment just doesn't make sense.
In keeping with this idea, Ground Level is working to make their café even greener – by introducing a number of fairly-traded, natural and organic products – many of them gluten free and many of them produced locally!
Groundlevel is also introducing an exciting new project they're partnering with called The Food Chain. The Food Chain is designed to provide licensed kitchen and market space for small scale food producers in the Parkdale area; artisans who are currently producing delicious foods like jams, pickles, chocolates and baked goods from their homes. Groundlevel's role in the project will be to provide market space in the café for their products, to offer mentoring on various aspects of business development, and to provide logistical support for ordering locally grown organic produce and ingredients.
If you are interested in helping to support Groundlevel in these endeavours, please attend:
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19th at 7 pm.
Tickets are $25 at the door.
$20 in advance and can be purchased at the café.
A donation of $20 through our website before October 18th
