In a world of bad news, we are grateful that we can sometimes just look around and find some nearby good news to enjoy. DECA’s got you, east end!
Pumpkin Parade Gratitude
A huge thank you to the volunteers who made the Pumpkin Parade happen on November 1! You can check out the creative pumpkin carvings on display that night on our instagram. And a special shoutout to the 236 Toronto Scouting Group led by Bob Taylor who disposed of those 500 pumpkins into the compost bin in record time at the end of the night.
A New Fridge in the (Nearby) Neighbourhood
There is a new Community Fridge on Queen St East by Carlaw, hosted by Canopy Kids. We’re so happy that they’ve found a new home in the east end! Swing by to take food if you need it, donate some if you’ve got it.
Kimbourne Community Brunch
We have had a great showing of volunteers for the brunch this Sunday November 17 – we are so lucky to have such generous neighbours. If you or someone you know needs a hearty home-cooked meal, come by the church basement on Sunday!
Lighting Up Danforth East
Our annual tree-lighting party is on November 30 in East Lynn Park. This promises to be another fun evening of music and community! If you would like to volunteer for setup, serving hot chocolate or tear-down, shoot us an email at info@deca.to.
