build community with us

The East Scarborough Storefront is generously funded by foundations, companies, and people like you!

Your donation keeps the Service Hub running. It enables residents ideas to spread from home kitchens and living rooms across the entire community.

With your support, The Storefront convenes local organizations, residents, government, and institutions to create dynamic partnerships, build community resilience, and challenge the status quo for thousands of people living and working in East Scarborough. Build community with us!
