About Potluck Café Society
An award–winning social enterprise, Potluck Café Society (a registered charity) owns and operates Potluck Catering, a thriving catering business in the heart of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside that employs neighbourhood residents in many forms of low-barrier income generating roles.
Potluck is driven by a commitment to addressing the needs of the community. By offering employment opportunities and practical training to individuals facing barriers, Potluck aims to empower and uplift individuals by providing them with a chance to improve their lives. Additionally, by providing nutritious food to residents in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, Potluck strives to promote health and well-being in the community. Our ultimate goal is to make a positive and lasting impact on individuals' lives and contribute to the overall betterment of the community.
We’ve been doing this work since 2001, and are proud to be both a leader and a collaborator in a movement that uses training and employment as a dignified means of helping people regain their confidence, skills, and economic independence.
Potluck Catering contributes all revenue to Potluck Café Society, supporting community programming.
