MURRIETA – This Thanksgiving season, Creative Catering—a family-owned business based in Temecula—brought nourishment and comfort to those in need by delivering 50 prepared turkey dinners to Project T.O.U.C.H., a local homeless shelter in Murrieta. The act of kindness, carried out on Monday, Nov. 25, underscores the company’s commitment to supporting its community.
“By donating hot turkey dinners, we wanted to help assure that many of those who live here locally, and are facing hardship, can still experience the warmth and togetherness that Thanksgiving represents,” said Tanya Lopez, Event Manager at Creative Catering. “It was a great opportunity for our team to extend kindness, share our blessings, and reach out to those who may otherwise go without a holiday meal.”
Creative Catering, known for its event planning services and VIP Room venue in Temecula, understands the importance of giving back to the community it calls home. While the company excels in providing exceptional catering services for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings, this recent initiative demonstrates their dedication beyond business operations.
Project T.O.U.C.H. has been serving the Murrieta and Temecula communities since 2003, offering emergency beds and transitional housing to those experiencing homelessness. The nonprofit provides daily support to 40-50 individuals, including single mothers, veterans, and seniors, with an estimated 90-100 children benefiting from its services.
Anne Unmacht, Director of Project T.O.U.C.H., expressed her gratitude for Creative Catering’s generosity. “We just want to give a huge ‘Thank You’ to Creative Catering for supporting those in need. They truly have been a blessing for us and those we serve,” she said. “The food was fabulous, and the residents enjoyed it so much that there were no leftovers.”
For many, Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude, yet it can be especially difficult for those experiencing poverty or homelessness. The donation from Creative Catering not only provided a hot, nourishing meal but also delivered a message of hope to residents feeling isolated during the holiday season.
By partnering with Project T.O.U.C.H., Creative Catering is fostering unity within the community and encouraging others to take part in addressing homelessness. Together, local businesses, nonprofits, and residents can create meaningful change and work toward long-term solutions.
