Events
Running from August 21st to September 21st, Dine OutSide is an extension of Tourism Vancouver’s popular Dine Out™ program. It will give food and drink lovers from Metro Vancouver and visitors from across BC a chance to enjoy the summer weather and the sights on restaurant patios, combining al fresco dining with social distancing.

The BCHF hopes you’ll also take this opportunity to support workers in the hard-hit hospitality sector by contributing to our registered charity, which provides assistance to hospitality workers facing facing financial crisis due to an extraordinary health condition, as well as administering a scholarship program.
BCHF Online Lottery: Beautiful Backyard BC

Coming in October...

Look no further than our beautiful backyard for your 2021 adventures! The BC Hospitality Foundation is proud to announce our primary fundraiser for 2020, an online lottery, with a focus on supporting local hotels, wineries, breweries, restaurants, tourist attractions, and of course, their staff – the heart and soul of our hospitality industry.


Featuring prizes from some of BC’s most remarkable destinations, we aim to fill your 2021 with safe and local explorations of our own, beautiful BC backyard.
INDUSTRY SUPPORT
Like many charities, the BCHF’s fundraising model, which relies almost entirely on events and social engagements, has been turned completely upside down. It is a devastating reality that will likely last well into 2021, and so we are now strategically revising our entire course of action for 2020, as we shift from events-based fundraising into new, socially distant territory.

We are fortunate and proud to be part of this industry, which has so much heart and passion; and we have already had some long-standing liquor manufacturing and retail partners come forward with turnkey fundraising initiative that have brought in cash, helping alleviate immediate sustainability issues for us as a charity.

We truly acknowledge your help by choosing to make purchases that support our industry! 

Below is a list of promotions currently running that benefit the BCHF.

INFORMATION AND WELLBEING LINKS

We have a COVID19 information and wellbeing links page on our website that may be of interest.
The BCHF is a charity that supports hospitality workers facing financial crisis due to a health condition. These are the people who work in your favourite restaurants, wineries, breweries, bars, and hotels. Often with limited access to benefits or financial aid, our beneficiaries have nowhere else to turn if a health condition arises. Your support has a meaningful impact by getting them back on their feet again.
