Just three months into business in Niverville, BarBuritto’s owner, Kuldeep Randhawa, is already finding ways to give back to the community.

On May 5, Randhawa hosted a Cinqo de Maya sale. Ten percent of the sale proceeds were earmarked for the Community Resource and Recreation Centre (CRRC).

“We want to be a part of the community,” Randhawa says. “If the community is supporting us, this is a way to pay it back.”

The CRRC caught Randhawa’s attention because it benefits every demographic in the community, from toddler to senior. 

The cheque he presented to the team at the CRRC came to $227.19.

“Everything helps,” says Niverville’s recreation director Warren Britton. “When a business has a neat idea like that, it’s just fantastic! BarBuritto was looking to give back to the community, so obviously we graciously accepted.”

At this point, Britton says the CRRC will likely invest the donation into its general building fund to help pay down the mortgage.

As for future Cinqo de Mayo events, Randhawa says he expects to spread the donations around to local organizations year after year.

But it’s not the only way Randhawa plans to invest in the town. The 2025 Niverville Fair will be benefiting from more than $1,200 in donations thanks to BarBuritto.

Of course, providing jobs is another way of giving back. Randhawa employs six local individuals to help him run the business, five of which are youth of Niverville.
