During COVID-19, Seema David founder of 5n2 Kitchen has been instrumental in ensuring local families are supported, working with several agencies, schools and communities to address hunger in our Scarborough communities. Without their community support many would have had great difficulty in working through their food security needs. Knowing how essential 5n2 Kitchen is to the community, it is important to ensure they remain in the community and receive financial assistance. As their current lease is coming to an end, I am asking that the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and the Executive Director, Social Development, Finance and Administration accelerate their work with the agency to ensure a long-term site for occupancy no later than December 31, 2021 in the community. Thank you for your support.
