Family-style cooking with professional execution
Blessed Food Catering was born from years of cooking daily for kids in DC daycares and from the need for a service that combines homemade taste, compliance, and organization.
We understand what it means to serve food every day in a childcare setting:
different ages, allergies, picky eaters, families who care, and CACFP or DC Health visits.
That’s why we don’t just cook. We think about portions, components, labels, and the information
you need to feel confident when inspectors or sponsors come in.
- ✔Specialized in small and mid-size childcare centers in Washington, DC.
- ✔Homemade recipes adapted for children ages 1–5.
- ✔Support with written menus and ingredients for your records.
