CityServe Vancouver brings businesses, volunteers, and community organizations together through a shared process that turns surplus goods into practical support
Organizations interested in receiving goods in kind must complete a partnership application as the first step in the approval process. Applications are reviewed by CityServe Vancouver under the administration of Coastal Church, which oversees the logistics and warehouse operations, to ensure partners have the capacity to receive and distribute goods responsibly within their communities.
Points of Distribution are trusted community organizations across Vancouver that operate as ongoing resource centres for the individuals and families they serve. PODs partner with CityServe Vancouver to receive donated goods at scale from the local hub and distribute them consistently through their programs and services.
Compassion Partners are organizations across Vancouver that receive goods in kind for specific, purpose-driven initiatives. These partnerships support targeted needs such as community events, seasonal outreach, or direct assistance for individuals and families, allowing resources to be shared in timely and meaningful ways.
