Expanding the current food support structure is necessary to help end hunger. DoughBoyz is a catering and food truck service in Worcester, MA that also hosts community breakfast events for those in need. The goal of this project was to assist DoughBoyz to formulate a framework to hold consistent community events that aid in their mission. We developed a cost analysis spreadsheet, to ensure a sustainable pricing structure, established local partnership opportunities, designed information pamphlets, menus, and solicitation packets, and developed sustainable packaging that allows leftover food to be donated to local charities. We used the framework to pilot a community breakfast event that was attended by over 200 people.
