As parents rush to the stores fully knowing it’s going to cost an arm and a leg for back to school shopping, it’s a quick reminder of the cost of living in 2023. 

Whether it’s the price of food continuing to rise or the cost of shelter not getting any cheaper, communities are now working together more than ever. One local business is giving back by offering free mini funnel cakes to bring some smiles to family faces. 

Funnel Cake Dream is a mobile funnel cake truck that’s been operating in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) since 2016 and is making its way to Route 54 Variety and Convenience on Friday to give out free mini funnel cakes to community members from Six Nations & surrounding areas. 

In an interview with a representative from Funnel Cake Dream they said "We just want to give back to the community, we’ve come up to Route 54 a bunch of times in the past and have sold to the community, and the community has really supported us a lot. We would just like to give back and what better time than now with the cost of living so high and foods expensive, everybody’s kind of hurting a bit so we thought what better way to put a smile on everybody’s face with a little funnel cake” 

Funnel cake dream will be at Route 54 Variety and Convenience on Friday from 4-8pm and everyone is welcomed!
