Night market to benefit local food organization
The Stop, a Toronto-area food bank and community organization, will soon be raising funds through a special “night market” event featuring dozens of local businesses.
The two-night event aims to channel the raucous communal atmosphere present at similar markets throughout the world, particularly in Asia. The Stop hopes to draw in food and drink lovers from across the greater Toronto area, including cities like Mississauga and Vaughan, to enjoy the best of local cuisine and contribute to a good cause.
The Night Market will feature food by local favourites like Cherry Street Bar-B-Que, Singaporean street food outlet Lion City Restaurant, and Cambodian open kitchen Tuk Tuk Canteen. Drinks will also be available from nearby breweries and cafes such as Strongbow and Reunion Island Coffee. Independent restaurants often use events like this as a way to get the word out, alongside tools like flyer printing, social media, promotional products, and word of mouth.
The Stop’s Night Market will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday, June 18 and 19, at Stackt Market on Bathurst Street. All proceeds will go to the nonprofit organization, which describes itself as a community food centre. It aims to provide nutritional food to people in need through an inclusive and non-judgmental environment. In addition to a conventional food bank, its programs include community kitchens, parental support programs, and urban agriculture.
