long version of this story
Potluck Café Society runs a popular business Potluck Café & Catering in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, with a mission to create jobs with on-the-job training and life skills support for local residents.
In 2010, when Potluck suffered a business setback, Vancity stepped in to help. With the aid of a grant from Vancity Community Foundation and patronage, coaching and a grant from Vancity, Potluck Café & Catering is growing by refocusing on its core corporate catering business in the adjacent business district.
