Toronto: We Helped Plant Community Gardens

Toronto Global Month of Service event

On April 16, rain, high winds and cold Canadian air didn’t stop 750 Starbucks partners (employees), customers, community members and representatives of local organizations from helping to revitalize a community in need during our Toronto Global Month of Service event.

The event was part of a collaborative environmentally focused plan to help create sustainable community gardens designed to give residents a sense of pride in their homes. Service projects included building and installing gardens around the property, planting trees, constructing a rain catchment system and paving access walkways.
