As a part of our United Way Greater Toronto campaign, the Polar team had the opportunity to work with a United Way partner, Frontlines to help prepare and serve Thursday lunch for those in the Weston neighborhood in Toronto. Frontlines addresses the pressing needs of children and youth in Weston and areas by providing leadership skills, homework clubs, culinary programs, health education, summer camps, catering services, and more. To learn more about the great work that they do please see https://frontlines.to/ We had a great time working with Frontlines and were inspired by their passion and dedication to helping those in need.
