Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2nd edition of CupcakeCampTO!

We are super happy to say that we raised $1700 for The Daily Bread Food Bank! So incredibly amazing.

On top of the cash donation, we also collected a grocery cart full of non-perishable food items!

The Daily Bread Food Bank is always looking for support, so click here to see ways to donate!
