Impact
Expanding True Catering strengthens West Michigan’s local economy by creating jobs, increasing vendor partnerships, and keeping corporate hospitality dollars circulating within the community. By formalizing our service training and scaling recurring contracts, we raise industry standards while building sustainable opportunities in hospitality.
What I'll do with $5,000
The $5,000 will fuel the expansion of True Catering’s corporate hospitality model moving us from consistent growth to intentional scale.
We will host a curated executive tasting experience for corporate decision-makers across West Michigan, designed to showcase not just our food, but our full-service excellence. From presentation to service flow, this event will position True Catering as the go-to partner for boardrooms, conferences, and high-level corporate gatherings.
Funds will also support upgraded service ware, refined staff uniforms, and branded presentation materials that reflect the elevated experience we deliver. When clients book True Catering, they’re not just hiring a caterer they’re investing in seamless execution and intentional hospitality.
Additionally, we will invest in strategic marketing assets and targeted outreach to secure recurring corporate contracts, creating sustainable, predictable revenue streams.
True Catering has operated for nearly a decade (formerly Patria’s Kitchen) with repeat clientele and proven demand. This investment strengthens our visibility, sharpens our brand presence, and directly converts into long-term corporate partnerships.
From boardrooms to ballrooms, every bite is intentional and this funding allows us to serve at the level we’ve always been capable of.
