We're raising $2.1 million to expand and relocate our Food Program

PHS Community Services Society (PHS) needs your support to relocate and expand our Vancouver Food Program. A new commissary kitchen is critical to increasing our capacity to deliver nutritious meals to the marginalized communities who depend on us.  

After a two-year search, PHS purchased a former restaurant that requires seismic, building, and operational upgrades. This investment will create a purpose-built commissary kitchen dedicated to food production.  We are working toward opening the kitchen in 2027.

Why we need your support

PHS’s current commercial kitchen was designed to produce just 200 meals per day—but we’re operating at ten times that volume. 

Our Food Program in Vancouver prepares and delivers more than 3,900 meals each day—including 2,000 hot meals—to residents in supportive housing and shelters, program participants, and community members in the Downtown Eastside facing food insecurity. 

Many of the people we serve don’t have access to kitchens or cold storage and rely on nutritious ready-made meals to support their health, stability, and well-being.

Currently our commercial kitchen is located inside one of our supportive housing buildings, making our Food Program vulnerable to residential‑building emergencies, and increasing our safety and operational risk exposure.
