Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first special rooftop dinner event! Last Friday's Harvest Dinner was filled with connection, fall cheer, and of course, delicious food. 🍂

Prepared and served by our expert chefs and youth trainees, our sit-down dinners give youth in training the chance to experience new recipes and prepare challenging dishes. The result is an impressive meal that guests get to enjoy while giving back to the community!

Keep an eye out for more sit-down dinner events like this coming up!

Spreadable Good Product Highlight: Spiced Pumpkin Spread 🎃

Not just for spooky season, this spread is sweet, spiced, and more versatile than you'd think! Dress up a PB&J, stir it into a yogurt parfait, or spoon it over cheesecake.

Locally crafted at the YOU Made It Café, spreading good one jar at a time.

(re)introducing Spreadable Good!

You knew it as Mushed by YOU. The same small batch jams and spreads, still made start to finish by the youth in our YOU Made It Café, trained by professional chefs - just a fresh name and label to match all the good in every jar.

New name, new look, same mission: real skills, real jobs, real community.

Six favourites to try:
🫐 Triple Berry Jam
🌶️ Four Pepper Jelly
🍊 Tangy Cranberry Chutney
🍓 Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

Huge thanks to adHOME for bringing the new name and label to life through their community partnership program.
