More About The Hart of Catering:

At The Hart of Catering, being part of the community means showing up in meaningful ways. Food is how we connect, how we care for others, and how we turn intention into action through ongoing support for our neighborhood.

These initiatives reflect our belief that food can do more than feed people—it can bring comfort, create connection, and support those who need it most. At The Hart of Catering, our mission is to serve the neighborhood through consistent acts of care, both inside and outside our café.

Holy Trinity / Open Hearts Café

Every Tuesday, we donate more than 125 hot meals through Holy Trinity Church’s Open Hearts Café. These meals are served to neighbors in the community as part of our ongoing commitment to fighting food insecurity with dignity and consistency.

My Sister’s Place

We provide six free meal periods each week to My Sister’s Place, a recovery home for single mothers and their children. This initiative helps support families in a safe, stable environment by easing one important daily need—access to nourishing meals.

Pay It Forward 

At The Hart of Catering Café, guests can purchase meals in advance for someone who may not be able to afford one. Those meals can later be redeemed by members of the community, creating a simple and direct way to give back.

Safe Space for Community Groups 

The Hart of Catering Café serves as a safe and welcoming space for community groups to gather. By opening our doors beyond regular hours, we help foster connection, support, and meaningful conversations.

Hart of the Neighborhood Community Night 

Every Thursday at The Hart of Catering Café, we host a complimentary dinner for anyone who could use a warm meal or a welcoming place to gather. Guests are invited to dine in or take their meal to-go—no questions asked, everyone welcome.

We're sorry. No registrations are currently available. You may wish to contact the event organizer for assistance.
