Employ to Empower's Make Change Market

November 6, 2025 by DABC

Employ to Empower is hosting their second Make Change Market this November!

Where: Heritage Hall,  Vancouver

When: Thursday, November 20, 2025 | 6:00–9:00 PM

This is their flagship event. 19 local entrepreneurs—many of whom are living with disabilities—are currently working hard to build their confidence, create merchandise, and prepare to sell their products for the very first time.

Last year, over 300 attendees came out, helping 17 entrepreneurs collectively earn more than $5,700—directly contributing to their social and economic empowerment. To get a feel for the magic of the evening, check out last year’s CBC feature highlighting two of our incredible entrepreneurs, Deryana and Edith: (click link)
