Kracker's Katering

Kracker’s Katering is a proud recipient of funding from the United Way and would like to once again give back to the agency that supports them. Kracker's Katering will be donating 10% of all catering sales during October and November back to the United Way to help provide other programs in our community with funding dollars. For every catering order placed you will be helping to support the United Way, your community and most importantly helping individuals gain employment and financial independence.

Please remember to give them as much advance notice as possible for catering orders as they are a small business and get many advance bookings.
