Our actions
for a local and human impact
For us, getting involved isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about supporting causes that are important to us, encouraging local producers and making heartfelt decisions. We do it humbly (like true Canadians), just because it’s the right thing to do. And that’s just how we roll!

Supporting causes
close to our hearts
At Ben & Florentine, we’re deeply committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve.
In 2022, we set out on a philanthropic journey to find a partner who shares our values. We naturally chose the Fondation Olo, for its deeply human approach. Its commitment to the health of mothers and children resonated with our mission, both as a restaurant, as citizens and parents. In addition to meeting urgent needs, the foundation addresses the structural causes of food insecurity.
Concrete measures
For each kid’s meal sold, we donate $0.50 – the equivalent of a glass of milk – to the Fondation Olo, with the aim of reaching $500,000 in 5 years.
This cause moves us, inspires us, mobilizes our teams and is one of the many ways we’re able to make a real difference in our community.
Buying local
isn’t a fad, it’s a reflex
Every morning, we bring you the finest local produce, fresh and delicious, carefully selected to offer you an experience that’s both authentic and surprising. It’s thanks to the support of our partners that we can continue to showcase the expertise and passion of our local producers.
