This holiday season, help the deserving and your appetite by putting Plates Café and Catering Center on the top of your to-eat list. Created though a partnership with St. John’s Shelter for Women and Children, the Plates Café and Catering Project helps once-homeless women transition into a state of self-sustainability. By working at Plates, each year 1,200 women learn valuable skills for careers in the foodservice, catering, retail and hospitality industries. Women also have the opportunity to earn their GED through the program, and are offered housing and childcare at no cost.
Plates Café offers full-service catering Monday through Friday, with a wide range of holiday and year-round favorites, including hot appetizers, tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, sit-down dinners and buffet service. Take a look at some of its breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, and you’ll be sure to see something that catches your eye.
Recently, Plates Café catered a local holiday party, which included a three-course dinner with a wine pairing for each course. Here are some of the highlights:
Vegetable fricassee with sweet corn, runner beans, fingerling potatoes, cherry tomatoes, summer squash, pancetta, and Dijon-shallot-basil butter
Fresh pasta (from The Pasta Queen), local and sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, chili flakes, sweet corn, and house made basil-walnut pesto
So keep Plates Café and Catering Center on your radar. After all, eating savory food and supporting such a great cause is something anyone can enjoy, especially at this time of the year.
