When you order from Potluck, you create employment for people in the Downtown Eastside, Canada’s poorest postal code. That’s something we can all be proud of.
Since 2001, Potluck Café Society has been using food to build community and help end the cycle of poverty. Every order you place helps us do more.
Our mission is to transform lives by creating jobs and providing healthy food for people living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
From corporate meetings to celebrations and everything in between, we’ve got you covered. If you want to talk it through, go ahead, give us a call. Or browse our menu — we make it easy to place your order online, whenever you want.
We provide training and life skills support for residents with barriers to traditional employment. We tailor work schedules to the capacity of each team member, pay wages that get people above the poverty line, and offer benefits to part time and full time staff.
Potluck is my go–to because I always know what I’m going to get and the presentation is amazing. Oh, and I can order online!
We love ordering from Potluck! Aside from the high quality of their food and reasonable price point, what makes Potluck stand out even more is their dedication to making a positive impact in the community and their social programs and initiatives that directly help and support members of the DTES. Certainly something I admire and want to support.
All in all — great food, great service, and great people. Thank you, Potluck!
Potluck is always my first point of call whenever I have a training event. The food is top quality. My guests are always commenting on how delicious lunch is and how much they appreciate the presentation. Potluck always deliver on time and I always get what I expect. I highly recommend.
