Praise for Catering by Root 

It's a great day at Tower School when Root provides lunches for the teachers. Whether a delicious sandwich or a tasty salad, Root's ingredients are fresh and healthy, and it's easy to please everyone. We know at least one way to our teachers' hearts and that's Root!  

  • Serena Wilkie Gifford, Head of School, Tower School

Project Adventure is thrilled to partner with Root to provide lunches for our workshop participants and corporate clients.  We share similar missions to empower youth in our community so Root has become the perfect caterer for our programs.  Chef Sam and the rest of the staff are so easy to work with, the food is always delivered on time, and we’ve received so many compliments from our participants that the food is incredible! 

  • Keri Hinchion, Workshop Registrar, Project Adventure, Inc.

Harborlight Community Partners (HCP) collaborated with Root for our 2020 Annual Event, Re-Imagining Community, which had to go virtual. In trying to organize something fun and original, Root was a natural ally - given Root’s program to support paths to independence for young adults and HCP’s efforts to create affordable homes.  This missional alignment was the perfect combination. Root is thorough and professional, flexible and creative, with outstanding menu options. We are so pleased to have worked with Root and look forward to continuing to do so in the future!
