Food Truck Catering for Fundraisers in Des Moines
Putting on a successful fundraiser in Des Moines—whether it’s a silent auction in the historic East Village, a 5K around Gray’s Lake, or a booster event near Drake University—takes all the energy you can spare. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can stay laser-focused on your mission. Our Des Moines food truck catering service secures reliable, crowd-pleasing vendors, coordinates menus, and manages ordering with zero headaches.

Best Food Trucks is the city’s one-stop shop for fundraiser catering. We vet each truck, track real-time online reviews, and use our digital ordering platform to eliminate long lines and payment confusion—crucial when you’re trying to maximize donations, raffle sales, or paddle-raises. From signature tacos rolled up fresh by local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza to plant-powered bowls from the beloved East Side staple Veggie Thumper, we have menus that keep supporters happy and budgets on track.
Skip the back-and-forth phone calls, last-minute grocery runs, and unpredictable weather plans. With Best Food Trucks you get seamless logistics, transparent pricing, and gourmet food trucks that know Des Moines streets better than a State Fair corn dog vendor. Book today and see why local nonprofits trust us for hassle-free food truck catering that turns every fundraiser into a flavorful success.
Let Guests Skip the Line and Keep Their Eyes on Your Des Moines Fundraiser
When you’re auctioning off gift baskets at the Iowa Events Center or cheering runners as they cross the finish line in Water Works Park, the last thing you want is a food line that snakes past the dunk tank. Best Food Trucks’ 515-friendly online ordering platform lets your supporters order straight from their phones and get a text the moment their meal is ready. No crowding, no shouting over the band—just a quick buzz and bam, dinner is served.
Want to boost presales? Drop a pre-order link in your event emails or on your West Des Moines Facebook group so guests can lock in a pickup time before they even leave home. Our system keeps payments seamless, tracks every ticket, and frees up volunteers to work the raffle table instead of managing menus.
Pairing Des Moines’ favorite food trucks with our one-tap ordering is the easiest way to keep the focus on fundraising while still treating everyone to pork tenderloin sandwiches, spicy sweet-corn fritters, or vegan power bowls—hot, fresh, and hassle-free. That’s fundraising, Midwest style.

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.
