East Van Roasters Creates Fragrant Chocolate Confections for Mom

The GOODS from East Van Roasters

Vancouver, BC | Celebrate your mom with meaningful handcrafted chocolate treats from East Van Roasters (319 Carrall St., Vancouver) this Mother’s Day. Artisanal chocolate goods are made bean-to-bar by this fully registered charity that employs women living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside who are looking to reenter the workforce, and who benefit from a flexible and supportive work environment where they learn to produce fine chocolate and coffee, and baked goods. Your Mother’s Day gift from East Van Roasters will help support women, with all proceeds going back to supporting the social enterprise and the work they do to remove barriers for women in the community.

This Mother’s Day, East Van Roasters has created lovely fragrant chocolate treats with flavours inspired by spring.
