2020 brought many changes to us all; some welcome, some more challenging.  We are grateful to have spent this past year refocusing on our Vibrant Table Community and how we can best serve you now and in the future.  We are really excited about the new year and the ways we have both expanded and refined our offerings.

VT menus are now seasonally focused using local purveyors.  As such, our seasonal menus are crafted and published 9 – 12 months prior to each season.

f&b catering is now officially a part of Vibrant Table!  VT was always the parent company, however with the current times and refining and refocusing our efforts, f&b catering is now a part of VT Delivery Services.  Same great food, same great chefs and service, simply a new name:  VT Business Delivery.

Our delivery services expanded in 2020, as well.  Wherever your guests may be, we can bring the food (and the party)!  We now offer meal delivery to help support your virtual event AND a variety of amazing celebration and gift boxes perfect for sharing with your team, whether that be colleagues or loved ones.  We can also deliver to your home a selection of catered, heat and serve meals to help support your personal weekly meal planning.

Again, thank you for hanging in there with us. Your support truly means the world.

“May we always return in plenty to a community that has given us so much.” – Vibrant Table Catering & Events Toast

Vibrant Table has created a new line of business that provides Virtual Event meals for non-profit organization guests. The NPO organizes their virtual event, and VT will deliver the three course meal to patron’s homes with simple re-heat and plating instructions. The goal is to recreate the live shared meal experience that coincides with the live virtual gala. Several organizations have met or exceeded their goal, which is phenomenal given the climate.

NPO’s Vibrant Table has partnered with during COVID for virtual events: Cascade AIDS Project, Portland Center Stage, NAYA, Planned Parenthood, Youth Rights & Justice, Meals on Wheels, Maybelle Center for Community, Raphael House and more, creating and delivering over 3000 meals. Additional information on Vibrant Table Virtual Events, the process, and roster of past organizations can be found here: https://www.vibranttablevirtualevents.com/

Additionally, VT has also had the privilege to partner with The Wave Foundation Food Program who receives federal and private philanthropic funding, along with donated food product to provide meals for the food insecure. VT receives those raw ingredients and develops them into prepared meals that require simple re-heating once delivered. Most of the deliveries are for Native American communities around the state, primarily Umatilla and Warm Springs Reservations.  VT has created about 2000 meals for this effort so far.

Lastly, via funding from Project Access Now, VT has been able to provide warm meals to communities in need such as Blanchet House, New Avenues for Youth and Adelante Mujeres, over 1200 meals. Vibrant Table is also partnering with Oregon Food Bank on ways they can assist their efforts, as well. VT has also had success in providing services to Portland corporate organizations during the pandemic; converting their holiday party budget to holiday gift baskets or delivered dinners to their employees instead.
