The Niagara Poverty Reduction Network is pleased to announce that The Social Gourmet has become a certified living wage employer at the Champion level. The Social Gourmet is a boutique social media management company based in Grimsby that provides solutions tailored to a business’ needs and goals. They work in and around the community with small and medium-sized businesses. The Social Gourmet employs one full time staff and three part time staff.

“We believe that all employees should not only be paid a Living Wage, but that employees who are appreciated (in both day to day actions and rate of pay) will be more engaged in their role within our company, and bring more to the table,” says Peggy Harnock, CEO, The Social Gourmet engaged team members make for a more positive work environment, which in turn allows our company to.“Happy and grow and employ more members of our community. Win/Win!”

“We are pleased to see many local employers who recognize the value and benefits of paying at least a living wage. Paying a living wage takes direct action to address poverty and to help people afford their cost of living expenses,” says Aidan Johnson, Chair of the Niagara Poverty Reduction Network.
