Empowerment Through Opportunity
About us
Mission Possible is a community economic development agency in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, founded in 1992. Mission Possible addresses barriers to employment by providing supportive, transitional employment for those who are ready to enter, or re-enter, the workforce. For those overcoming homelessness, poverty, addiction, incarceration, and physical and/or mental disability, it can be difficult to build a sustainable livelihood. Through its Employment Readiness Program and two social enterprises, Mission Possible transforms lives by helping people experience a renewed sense of dignity and purpose through meaningful work. Mission Possible currently runs two social enterprises, MP Maintenance and MP Neighbours, that employ an average of 90 individuals per year in transitional jobs. Our work can be summed up in the phrase “Empowerment Through Opportunity”.

We are so grateful to work with such a fantastic and crucial organization like Food Stash Foundation to provide food for our associates in our Community Pantry! Check out the video below to see the ways we work together, featuring our very own Community Pantry Associate, Grimm! 🧡
At Food Stash Foundation, our work is about so much more than food—it's about hope, dignity, and building a stronger community. That’s why our partnership with Mission Possible is so meaningful. Together, we’re tackling some of the most pressing issues in our city—food insecurity and barriers to employment—through collaboration, compassion, and shared purpose. Mission Possible transforms lives through meaningful work, walking alongside individuals facing challenges like homelessness, poverty, or substance use. With the support of rescued food from Food Stash, they’re able to provide lunches to their team, helping to fuel the journey back to stability and self-sufficiency. When you support organizations like Food Stash Foundation and Mission Possible, you're changing lives in ways that go far beyond food. And right now, your impact can go even further—thanks to South Flats by PCI Developments and Low Tide Properties, every donation to Food Stash made by December 31st will be MATCHED dollar for dollar. By donating to Food Stash, you’re not only helping us rescue food and reduce waste—you’re also supporting organizations like Mission Possible, ensuring their teams are nourished and empowered to do the incredible work they do every day. Let’s create hope together. #BeyondFood #MissionPossible #FoodRescue #CommunityImpact #Vancouver
