Friends Catering Company is a social purpose enterprise that grew out of Friends Restaurant.
Opened in 2008 with the help of the Toronto Enterprise Fund, Friends Catering is a successful business that offers training and work experience in the food industry to members of our community who have experienced significant difficulty in finding and maintaining employment.

Friends Catering provides on-the-job training for individuals in our community who are experiencing substantial barriers to finding employment. We work with individuals who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness, newcomers, individuals re-entering the workforce facing barriers to employment, and individuals living with addiction and mental health issues. We provide training and work experience in the food service industry while giving our trainees the support needed to move forward with their employment and educational goals.
When you order from Friends Catering, you’re getting a delicious meal, but you are also supporting the community we live in and that’s why it’s ‘food you’ll feel good about’!
