Every time you support City Catering, you partner with us to end the cycle of poverty  in Compton by investing in local entrepreneurs that create jobs for themselves and others. Yes, we love to cook. We use only quality ingredients and recipes that have been passed down from  generation to generation. But it’s more than great food that gets us up every day.
