Hearing my clients share their experience during dinner means so much to me. 🤍 This was my first on-premises private dinner, (not my first private dinner) so I was definitely nervous going into it, but seeing my client and her family enjoy the food and hearing their kind words made it all worth it.
Thank you again for trusting On The Menu Catering to be part of such a special 80th birthday celebration. 🥂✨ Your support and feedback mean more than you know!

There are some things children shouldn’t have to worry about, and basic hygiene is one of them.
As an educator, I’ve seen how something as simple as having deodorant, toothpaste, soap, or shampoo can make a difference in a student’s confidence. Every child deserves to walk into school feeling clean, comfortable, and never embarrassed because they don’t have access to these everyday essentials.
That’s why this year I’m organizing a Backpack Hygiene Drive. My hope is to remind students that they are seen, valued, and supported by their community.
If you’re able to help in any way, whether it’s donating supplies, sponsoring a backpack, volunteering, or simply sharing this post. it truly means more than you know. It takes a village, and together we can make a real impact.
Thank you in advance to everyone who chooses to support this mission. 💙
