Giving January

We’re starting the new year off right. Here’s how we’re giving back this January – and beyond.

A note for the do-good eater and sipper: this is your spot.

Because there is nothing better to do in January. Or any month of the year. Dine/drink with a cause.

Only in Gastown.

Food + Drink

DTES Women’s Centre

Di Beppe

8 W Cordova St

Order the Cacio e Pepe and help raise funds for a different charity each month in 2023. The charity of choice for January is the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre.

*Last year, Kitchen Table was able to raise $22,918.47 with your help. 

Mission Possible Food Bank

Water St. Café

300 Water St.

From January 3rd til the 19th, bring in a non-perishable food donation for the Mission Possible Food Bank and enjoy your favourite pasta at half price.*

*This promo is now completed and Water St Cafe has succesfully sent one GIANT suitcase of food to the Food Bank. Thanks to all that contributed!

DTES Women’s Centre

Pourhouse

162 Water St

Order the Spicy Chicken Burger and help raise funds for a different charity each month in 2023. The charity of choice for January is the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre

The Greater DTES COMMUNITY

East Van Roasters

319 Carrall St.⁣⁣

The process to suspend a coffee is simple: Instead of buying 1 drink, you buy 2 or more, batista logs the extra drinks as ‘suspended’, and they can be redeemed at any time by someone who needs it.

By supporting East Van Roasters, you’re supporting Atira Women’s Art Society – giving women in the DTES work & housing.

Coast Mental Health Foundation

Tacofino Taco Bar

12 W. Cordova St

From January 6th to January 31st, $2 from all Nonny Beer and mocktail sales will be donated to Coast Mental Health Foundation

P.S. Nonny non-alcoholic beer is now on tap at the Gastown location.

The artists & DTES CHARITIES

Guilt & Co.

1 Alexander St, Underground

100% of the money paid for live music goes directly to the artists and live music program … or on GroundUp Thursdays, is donated to Downtown Eastside charities.

To date, GroundUp has donated over $100,000.000 to local Vancouver charities and community organizations.

Get on the List.
