Food with conscience.
CultivATE is more than a food truck. It's the flagship project of ElevATE Society — a Vancouver culinary social enterprise built to break the cycle of inequity, one great meal and one new opportunity at a time.
A food truck with a bigger purpose.
CultivATE launched in 2021 as the first project of ElevATE Society, a registered charity founded to address social inequality by providing training and a living wage to people who face barriers to employment. The idea: a self-sustaining kitchen where great food funds real opportunity.
Since 2022, the truck has focused on hiring women who fled the war in Ukraine — welcoming them with no experience required, then providing training, food-safety certification, benefits and a true living wage. Every taco, sando and catering tray helps make that possible.
The things we won't compromise on.
Opportunity for all
We reduce barriers to training and employment, paying a true living wage with benefits.
Profits with purpose
All profits are reinvested into training and given back to the community we serve.
Zero-waste kitchen
We source locally and share surplus food with local nonprofit partners.
From the truck & the table.
