Seven local restaurants are supporting the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living through wine sales this month.

Bliss Fine Foods, Truffles Bistro, The Ivy, Calories, Souleio, The Spadina Freehouse and 6Twelve will be donating proceeds from all wine sales to the “A Toast to Friendship” campaign throughout March.

The money will go to the University of Saskatchewan Best Buddies program, which pairs an individual with an intellectual disability with a U of S student.

The organization’s mission is to harness those friendships to help individuals become more integrated in the community.The pairs spend time together at least twice a month, and there are various group events throughout the year.
