In 2013, Roopan and Seema David founded 5n2 Kitchens to help those in need in high-risk communities around Toronto. After immigrating to Canada from India, the pair were surprised by the high levels of poverty that existed in their new country. By investing personal funds and much of their time, they have secured space, built partnerships, engaged volunteers and encouraged people to donate in order to provide weekly meals to vulnerable clients, particularly those of drop-in programs and community housing developments.
