Meals are an important part of building community at First United.  With the support of BC Housing, members of the DTES community, and the physical support and donations of the wider community, First United is now offering four meals a day, seven days  a week.  Homemade soup, bread, sweets and coffee are served at 8:30 a.m.;  a hot lunch is served at 12 noon; dinner is at 6 p.m; and sandwiches are served at 9:30 p.m.

Opportunities to provide meals are available to those who share our vision of an inclusive community in which all are welcome and where those who provide food are encouraged to share table hospitality with those who receive.   Our meal providers include congregations and youth groups of the United Church of Canada, members of other faith traditions like the Goan community, the Sikh community, the Jewish community and a local Jewish-Muslim Peace group are among those who we count on to serve the community.  We also have volunteers from agencies, schools and businesses who help us provide meals.

Organizations who wish to help us with meals can contact Pascal Tremblay, Chef,  at 604-681-8365 Ext. 126
