In 2014, Angan was awarded the first-ever "café in a park" contract, recognized for our dedicated work in food security and community activation. Our mission was to transform the park into a vibrant hub for young families and local residents, drawing inspiration from successful urban growth models to create a space that truly felt like home. Through initiatives like our popular five-dollar Friday night dinners, community yard sales, and fashion shows, we turned the park into a lively center for engagement. Beyond events, the café became a vital pillar for local food security; since 2015, we have utilized food rescue to provide weekly meals for the nearby Parkdale Community Food Bank. We also maintain a consistent surplus of food at the café, ensuring that under-resourced neighbors always have access to a meal when they need it most.
