About ACF Online Auction
Welcome to the Afro-Carib Fest Online Auction, your chance to bid on amazing items while directly supporting our community! Proceeds from this auction directly support the Afro-Carib Fest, a free annual community event that celebrates diversity and culture. The funds also support Heritage Skills Development Centre’s skills training and capacity-building programs, which empower low-income, and marginalized newcomers, refugees, women, youth, and families in the Greater Toronto Area.
