I usually do not outwardly promote events on this blog, however, when there is a good cause involved I do make exceptions. I'd like to draw attention to Feast Van, which is an event being put on by Joe Chaput, proprietor of Au Petit Chavignol and Les Amis du Fromage. Together with the Strathcona Community Center's Backpack Food Program and 16 participating East Van restaurants,their goal is to take $1.00 from each prix fixe meal to fund their program that feeds 283 kids in Vancouver DTES each weekend. Better act fast because the event only runs until February 5th. You can learn more about the it here.
