UPIC
Preferred Vendor Coalition
The Preferred Vendor Coalition empowers Pacific Islander vendors by providing comprehensive training, resources, and support to grow their businesses — facilitating a seamless transition from home-based operations to market presence, food trucks to brick-and-mortar establishments, and owner-operated to staff-run enterprises. Through our one-stop shop for licensing and permits, we strive to create a thriving business ecosystem for all Pacific Islander entrepreneurs.
