Kid2Kid Kids’ Marketplace on at the Beaches Recreation Centre today

The Kid2Kid Kids’ Marketplace is on today at the Beaches Recreation Centre.

A fundraiser for East Toronto’s Red Door Family Shelter, the Kids’ Marketplace on Saturday, May 31, involves children in community initiatives to benefit other children while also encouraging entrepreneurship.

The young participants in the Kids’ Marketplace will be selling a range of items from foods, to jewelry, toys, apparel and more.

The children taking part in the marketplace keep half of their proceeds while the other half is donated to the shelter.

There will also be a silent auction taking place as part of today’s Kids’s Marketplace. All proceeds from the auction will go to the Kids2Kids Got Your Back initiative which helps provide backpacks for children and families at the shelter.

The marketplace goes from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. The Beaches Recreation Centre is at 6 Williamson Rd.
