When we talk about <strong>charity<em>catering<\/em><\/strong> for events, we are referring to all those charity events planned, organised and carried out by companies dedicated to providing <em>catering<\/em> services for any celebration for which they have been contracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_organise_a_charity_catering\"><\/span>How to organise a charity catering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a series of steps you need to take in order to <strong>organise a successful charity <em>catering <\/em> <\/strong>event. We will talk about these steps below, so take note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/como-montar-catering-solidario.jpg\" alt=\"Solidarity catering\" class=\"wp-image-18360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/como-montar-catering-solidario.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/como-montar-catering-solidario-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenuso.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/como-montar-catering-solidario-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Select_a_target\"><\/span>1. Select a target<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to determine <strong>which cause you will support and work for<\/strong>. To do this, you must be well informed about what options exist and if you can really contribute to the realisation of your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are not sure what cause to support, we recommend you to research through different news sources until you find your goal or cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Form_a_team\"><\/span>2. Form a team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the planning stage to the actual <strong> <em>catering<\/em><\/strong> event, there is a lot of work to be done. So you will need to <strong>put together a team to help you with this arduous task<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, you need to talk to your staff, explain the objective you are aiming for and engage them to help you achieve your goal. Once the <em>briefing<\/em> is done, delegate specific functions in favour of the charity <em>catering<\/em> event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Consider_looking_for_partners\"><\/span>3. Consider looking for partners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the magnitude of the project you are aiming to achieve, you may want to <strong>look for sponsors to support you in the realisation of your charity event<\/strong>. It never hurts to have the help of other companies that want to support the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support does not necessarily have to be monetary, as it could be companies that are in charge of advertising the event, or that will lend you the appropriate space for the celebration of the event, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Take_care_of_all_the_details\"><\/span>4. Take care of all the details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your charity <em>catering <\/em>event to be a success, you must make sure that no detail is overlooked. In case it is a charity dinner, you must serve only top quality food, decorate appropriately, hire professionals for the photographic record of the event, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, you have to <strong>make sure that everything runs smoothly<\/strong>, from the design of the invitations to the attention of the guests on the day of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Publicise_the_event\"><\/span>5. Publicise the event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is extremely important in order to achieve your objective, as the attendance of your guests will depend on the publicity of the event. So, it will be necessary to <strong>advertise widely by all means<\/strong>, if we want to achieve a significant percentage of attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_catering_companies_that_have_implemented_solidarity_events\"><\/span>Examples of catering companies that have implemented solidarity events<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although charity <em>catering<\/em> events are generally limited to charity dinners, there are many other alternatives for organising charity <em>catering <\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such is the case of restaurants that offer <strong>free training courses<\/strong>, as a social work to train young people in the area of catering. In this way, they contribute to the insertion of personnel into the labour market in this important branch of the hotel and catering industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best thing about this type of solidarity <em>catering<\/em> is that the students. In addition to the theoretical training, they also learn and gain experience through the practical work they do together with their advisors <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To carry out these courses as solidarity <em>catering<\/em>, you must have the <strong>collaboration of professional staff <\/strong>to serve as tutors in such training. So that the young people have a complete training in all areas, such as waiters, cooks, <em>bartenders<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another good example of solidarity<em> catering<\/em> is the one implemented by many <strong><em>catering <\/em><\/strong> companies <strong>during the confinement due to <a href=\"https:\/\/greenuso.com\/blog\/ecological-packaging\/\" data-type=\"post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID-19<\/a><\/strong>. During this period, many catering business managers became known for the excellent social work of packing and delivering food to people in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_should_your_company_do_charity_catering\"><\/span>why should your company do charity <em>catering<\/em>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you run a catering business, it makes sense to hold some kind of charity catering event. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First of all, when you undertake an activity to benefit a cause, <strong>your business gets a good reputation<\/strong> for such philanthropic initiatives.<\/li><li>On the other hand, if your charity catering is related to the training of young people in the hospitality industry, you can <strong>recruit employees for your restaurant<\/strong> from the same background. This ensures that you are hiring highly qualified staff, trained in your own business.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_organising_a_good_charity_catering_event\"><\/span>Tips for organising a good charity catering event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To organise an <strong>unforgettable charity <em>catering <\/em><\/strong> event that impresses both the people who hired your services and those who attended the event, you should put the following suggestions into practice: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inclusive_menu\"><\/span>Inclusive menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that this type of event is usually attended by a large number of people, so <strong>the menu should be adapted to all tastes and preferences<\/strong>. So include options for vegetarians, vegans and lactose intolerant people. This way, everyone present will feel welcome, included and well looked after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can even include in your <strong>charity <em>catering<\/em><\/strong> service an area for healthy food and drinks, thinking about those guests who are careful with their diet. There you can include detox drinks, skewers with different natural fruits, among many other alternatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solidarity_Eco_Catering\"><\/span>Solidarity Eco Catering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using <strong>biodegradable tableware, napkins, straws and any other biodegradable product<\/strong> in social events of this type will demonstrate the great commitment that the contracting company has with the care of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the use of eco-friendly products at charity events tends to win the hearts of those present, who tend to support worthy causes. It <strong>will<\/strong> also <strong>show how committed you are to caring for the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the use of ecological products in these charity events, <strong>usually conquer <\/strong>those present. In addition to supporting your noble cause, they may be motivated to copy your example and join you in caring for the environment <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Originality\"><\/span>Originality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be creative when planning your charity catering and include unique details to please your audience. For example, prepare packets of sweets or biscuits with notes about the event, or serve drinks in specially printed containers with designs for the occasion.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you apply all the tips we have given you on how to organise a <strong>charity catering<\/strong> event, your event will have everything it needs to be a great success.
