MURRIETA – In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Creative Catering, a Temecula based company, is stepping up to bring warmth and gratitude to those in need. On Monday, November 25th, the local catering company, along with Project T.O.U.C.H., will deliver 50 prepared turkey dinners to a homeless shelter located in Murrieta.
Tanya Lopez, Event Manager at Creative Catering and VIP Room Temecula, shares the motivation behind the initiative. “By donating hot turkey dinners, we can help assure that those facing hardship can still experience the warmth and togetherness that Thanksgiving represents,” she said. Lopez added, “It’s an opportunity for our team to extend kindness, share our many blessings, and reach out to those who may otherwise go without a holiday meal.”
This act of generosity coincides with Creative Catering’s commitment to giving back to the community it serves. Known for its comprehensive event planning services, Creative Catering offers everything from private venue space and wedding packages to off-site chef services, ensuring every event is a memorable one. Located in the heart of Temecula, the company is grounded in community spirit, providing locals with exceptional services for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.
Project T.O.U.C.H., the recipient of the donated meals, has been a steadfast supporter of the Murrieta community since 2003. By offering year-round emergency beds and transitional housing programs, the nonprofit aids approximately 40-50 people daily within Southwest Riverside County. This includes single mothers, seniors, veterans, and families, with an average of 90-100 children receiving shelter and support. The organization plays a critical role in addressing homelessness by ensuring access to essential services and fostering community support.
Thanksgiving, a time traditionally marked by abundance and gratitude, can be a challenging period for those experiencing poverty and homelessness. Creative Catering’s donation reflects the true essence of the holiday—community solidarity and giving. Their involvement not only provides a hot meal but also brings hope and connection to individuals and families who may feel isolated.
The impact of such initiatives extends beyond a single meal. By bridging gaps between the housed and the unhoused, Creative Catering and Project T.O.U.C.H. are fostering understanding and empathy within the community. This partnership highlights the role local businesses can play in supporting grassroots efforts to combat homelessness.
Creative Catering’s contribution is part of a broader effort to engage the community in addressing local challenges. By working together, businesses, nonprofits, and residents can make a significant difference in the lives of Murrieta’s most vulnerable citizens.
For those interested in supporting Project T.O.U.C.H., donations and volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year. These contributions are crucial in maintaining the shelter’s long-standing mission to offer a safe haven and supportive environment for those in need.
