Food Truck Catering for Fundraisers in Chicago
Running a charity 5K along the Lakefront Trail, a silent auction in Lincoln Park, or a PTO carnival in Naperville? Keep your attention on donations and sponsors while Best Food Trucks handles the eats. We are Chicago’s experts in food truck catering for fundraisers—streamlining permits, menus, and service so your guests feel the same hospitality they’d get at a backyard barbecue in Beverly.
Our local lineup features crowd-pleasing favorites that Chicagoans instantly recognize:
- Venezuelan arepas and Latin bowls from La Cocinita Chicago
- Smoked brisket, ribs, and mac & cheese from Soul & Smoke
- Gourmet sandwiches like the Truffle BLT at The Fat Shallot
- Oven-baked Argentinian empanadas from 5411 Empanadas
- Sicilian arancini and fresh pasta courtesy of La Comodita
Booking through Best Food Trucks means no more juggling multiple caterers, haggling over hidden fees, or sweating late arrivals on event day. Our industry-leading platform offers:
- One contract covering every truck, menu, and staff member
- Digital ordering that keeps lines shorter than a winter day on the Riverwalk
- Real-time service tracking so plates hit hands fast and fund-a-need speeches stay on schedule
- Transparent, affordable pricing that lets more of your budget support the cause
From Hyde Park church bazaars to corporate charity galas on the Magnificent Mile, let Best Food Trucks deliver stress-free, gourmet food truck catering for your Chicago fundraiser. Your donors will leave satisfied, your volunteers will thank you, and you’ll gain time to focus on what really matters—raising money for your mission.

Every second counts when you’re bidding on Blackhawks memorabilia or cheering on a dunk tank volunteer. Best Food Trucks’ Chicago-centric online ordering platform lets your guests spend those seconds raising money, not standing around. With a few taps on their phone, supporters choose a dish, pay, and get a text when their order is ready—quicker than an “L” ride from the Loop to Wrigleyville.

Food truck catering plus real-time mobile ordering is the smartest way to feed a Chicago fundraiser—whether you’re hosting a South Side block party, a Gold Coast gala, or a suburban school benefit in Schaumburg.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

Excellent tacos, rice and beans, and street corn! My guests raved about the food! I would have La Patrona back in a heartbeat! Watch out for the salsa - they are both spicy!
