REYNA GIVES BACK
See our journey of giving back to the community.
Beirut Blast Victims Relief Fund
On Tuesday, August 4th 2020 a massive explosion ripped through the Lebanese capital Beirut causing major devastation. We are donating $2 from every lebanese taco sold to the Beirut Blast Relief Fundraiser by Lucas Labelle. With the news of this heartbreaking explosion in Lebanon that has left countless families affected, we can’t help but try to do our part. The heart of our cuisine is influenced by Lebanon’s vibrant people and culture. That’s why we want to do our part. Please consider making a donation to the fundraiser here.
Harriet Tubman Community Organization
For the month of August 2020 we are donating to the Harriet Tubman Community Organization in support of Harriet’s legacy, cultural heritage, accessibility and freedom.
Freedom School Toronto
For the month of July 2020 we are donating to Freedom School Toronto in support of fighting racism in the school system.
Black women in motion
For the month of June 2020, we are donating $3 from every lamb baklava sold to the organization Black Women in Motion.

rainbow railroad
Sponsored by Absolut, every month we host a drag brunch at our Bar Reyna location. During drag brunch we offer $3 shots in which all proceeds go to Rainbow Railroad in support of the LGBTQ community. Rainbow Railroad not only helps those immediately in need of assistance but also works to make positive legal changes around the world.
Due to COVID-19 we have temporarily cancelled drag brunch but stay tuned we will be bringing it back as soon as we can!
Girls e-mentorship
In 2019 we partnered with Girls E-Mentorship to host and to raise money for high school aged girls facing multiple barriers. Raising over 40k to go towards this incredible organization for the future of these young ambitions teens. We had a wonderful evening celebrating the power of Mentorship.
HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
In 2019 we held a holiday toy drive at both locations in support of Homeward Bound Toronto to help single mother households have a wonderful holiday season. Homeward Bound fosters single mothers with all the resources they need to transition to success assisting with affordable housing, childcare, and education.
