Savor The Couve is a local Weekly Restaurant Takeout Collaboration Dinner, presented by ilani, created to support locally owned restaurants and nonprofit organizations! At this time, Savor The Couve is on pause as the Chamber and partners work together to create another program for Fall 2021. Please view the overview of Savor The Couve below, featuring data from the first 16 weeks, as well as how to sign up for future participation.

That's a Wrap!

Savor The Couve’s weekly takeout dinners’ operations coordinated five different restaurants each week to deliver between 90 and 160 dinners for two for pickup at the former Warehouse ‘23 event space. Each Savor The Couve Thursday, diners would drive through the check-in point, guided by the Chamber, Visit Vancouver staff, and nonprofit volunteers, to have their fresh five-course dinner for two placed into to their cars. This hands-free operation for the diners was smooth with all dinners picked up in less than an hour most weeks. Each week, Savor The Couve’s featured restaurants, each providing one of the courses, allowed diners to sample dishes and flavors from restaurants they’ve never visited.

Savor The Couve raised a total of $46,600 for the 16 participating nonprofits, and a total of $136,072 for the 32 participating local restaurants. With the 3728 dinners served, 690 of those dinners were served to repeat diners of the program.
