Creating Career Pathways

At Community Table, creating career pathways in hospitality for urban youth is a key priority. Our program offers culinary and hospitality training, paid internships, fellowships, and full-time positions for local talent. Through our partnership with the Boys and Girls Club Boston, we support positive youth development and nurture the next generation of urban hospitality professionals.

Philanthropy

The heart of our program is investing in organizations that support inclusive education, prevent food insecurity, and champion entrepreneurial growth. Giving back to the local Boston community is woven into TCA’s core values and operational practices.

Local Entrepreneurship

The effort to curate diverse, sustainable food sources provides direct access to local small-batch suppliers known for their outstanding craftsmanship. These suppliers bring unique cultural flavors to large-scale events, TCA’s café, and restaurants, promoting exposure to sustainable food sources.

Restaurant takeovers reinforce the mission to support and empower local culinary entrepreneurs by offering them the resources and platform to grow their businesses and share their authentic flavors with a broader audience.

“The Dumpling Daughter takeover at the BPL with the Catered Affair was truly EPIC. As a special guest at the Map Room Lounge, The Catered Affair staff were kind and welcoming and represented our brand with flying colors. We were honored to share our cuisine in such a beautiful and special venue. We are proud to be a Boston-born brand with roots for decades, continuously bringing people together through great hospitality and unique Chinese food.”
