With the support of our incredible customers, partners, and passionate franchisees, we have donated hundreds of meals to doctors, nurses, technicians, fire and policemen and women in cities across Ontario and Montreal. Copper Branch’s menu of 100% plant-based dishes offer pure nutrition and were all very well appreciated and enjoyed! “Our mission continues to serve our community quality whole foods that inspire and make people feel their best. During these uncertain times, the economy has of course struggled, however we are very proud of our partners and franchisees who have taken the initiative to support and nourish their local communities and the heroes who are getting us through this pandemic” – Rio Infantino, founder and president of Copper Branch.
