Details About The Venue

As a means of creating further awareness for the plight of the needy, and to raise funds to meet their needs, UGM will partner once again with EAT! Vancouver, The Everything Food + Cooking Festival, to present the Bite of Vancouver Restaurant Pavilion on May 25, 26& 27, 2007, at BC Place Stadium. 

Vancouver restaurants will be tantalizing your taste buds with appy-size offerings of their regular menu selections. You will find the owners, chefs and service staff of some of Vancouver’s favourite restaurants serving up a dizzying array of cuisine, both local and international. It’s your one and only opportunity to visit numerous restaurants in one afternoon or evening, taste their menu selections for a mere $1 to $4 per sample, study their entire menu, talk to the chef and ask questions from the experts.

About the mission:
The Union Gospel Mission is an organization that reaches out with Hope and Compassion. Each year we provide services to hundreds of men, women and children who come to us for assistance.

We know that Hope often begins with a meal.  UGM is a grassroots local charity supported through the generosity of over 44,000 active donors. We do not seek or receive governmental funds for our various programs and services.

The Bite of Vancouver

  2. Just wanted to say wow! Why you may ask?  smile I was one of those hungry homeless soul and organizations like The Union Gospel Mission. Where a real God send.

    Some people are poor, and homeless as a profession. But then there are others that end up there from pure hard luck.  It was a christian mission outreach that got me off the streets and gave me the chance to get work and get back on my feet.

    You should have a paypal donate button on here to make it easier for charitable people to help. Good job and I pray for a blessing of prosperity on your supporters!
