It’s takeout time. 17 local restaurants are serving up Dine Strathcona, an initiative that donates $1 from each featured menu item to WISH Drop-In Centre. The featured dishes include margherita pizza from Strathcona Beer Company (I got one last week, 10/10 would recommend), fried cauliflower and chickpeas from Ask for Luigi (pictured above) and the vegetarian combo from Axum Ethiopian Restaurant (that’s yellow split peas, red lentils, cabbage, carrots and spinach simmered in a spicy sauce). Check below for full menu. WISH Drop-In centre is a refuge and an essential point of contact for vulnerable street-based sex workers, and you can donate to them directly here.
