"The go-to place for cheese" - Mia Stainsby, Vancouver Sun
“The
city’s busiest cheese shop”
"Vancouver's Best Food Store" - Urban Diner Awards 2008
Vancouver - Head Office
We appreciate that every cause is worthwhile; however, in an attempt to be able to best respond to the many requests we receive, we have developed a list of eligibility criteria.
We are most likely to support charities that are:
- Aimed at supporting food and cooking
- Aimed at supporting feeding less fortunate persons
- Within the Vancouver lower mainland
We are most likely to NOT support charities that are:
- Requested on short notice
- Fundraising for individuals or for profit businesses
- Outside of the Vancouver lower mainland
- From a non-registered charity
- Political organizations
- Organizations that discriminate
Unfortunately we are unable to support organizations such as sports teams due to the sheer number of requests we receive. We believe it would be unfair to support one person or team and not the other.
Important: We will not accept any applications made in person or over the phone
