A local business in Toronto that's a neighbourhood favourite is closing down, and though the closure may be temporary, there's no telling when — or where — it'll be making its comeback.
It's not just the comfort food aspect that's earned Soul Provisions the distinction of being a community pillar, though, Sara's also developed a robust program that allows less-fortunate members of the neighbourhood to eat, even if they might not be able to afford it. It's the end of an era for Soul Provisions, though, as the Vaughan Road storefront will be shutting its doors as of Sunday, Nov. 17, with no word quite yet on when or where the replacement location will be opening.
"With our empathy program and paying all of our staff a living wage, the business is basically a break even venture," Sara tells blogTO. "So, I realized that, in order for this to be profitable, I need to buy a building."
