The spirit of giving shines bright at the Distillery Winter Village. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week, for Giving Tuesday, we had the pleasure of celebrating our 2025 Distillery Winter Village charity partners — Toronto Star Children’s Charity (@torontostarchildrenscharities), Anishnawbe Health Foundation (@supportanishnawbe), Soulpepper Theatre (@soulpeppertheatre), Habitat for Humanity GTA (@habitatgta), and Crow’s Theatre (@crowstheatre). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each of these organizations plays a vital role in strengthening our city — supporting families, expanding access to care, fostering creativity, and helping build a more connected Toronto. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the help of our guests who joined us on opening night, we were honoured to present tokens of appreciation to our partners and recognize the meaningful work they lead year-round. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Moments like this remind us of the impact we can make when we come together. Here’s to carrying that spirit of generosity forward all season long. 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #DistilleryWinterVillage #GivingTuesday #TorontoCharities
