2012 What’s On The Table – A Benefit for The Stop Community Food Centre

The 2012 What’s On The Table was held at Wychwood Barns (The Stop Community Food Centre) last night, Nov 7 2012.
Sponsored by Stonegate Private Counsel, this year’s event featured more than 37 mouth-watering booths. Guests sampled creations of Toronto’s top chefs & restaurants while sipping on wine from some of the best winery & vineyards across Canada.
Live auction prizes included foodie adventures and getaway packages.
The event successfully raised $270,000, with 85% of the funds supporting  The Stop‘s efforts to build health, hope and community through the power of food.
