The Grinning Gourmand has always strived to give back to the community.

We are involved with The Good Shepherd Donating Christmas Dinner each year to shelters for battered women and their children.

We have also been supporters of Downtown Dining opening up our café to the participants and being part of the walk around tour.

We donate to The Joseph Brant Charity Gala and many other smaller worthwhile causes.

We were also nominated for business of the year award by The Burlington Chamber of Commerce.
