Food Truck Catering for Fundraisers in Chicago
Running a successful Chicago fundraiser already keeps you busy—juggling silent-auction items, raffle tickets, and that never-ending guest list from River North to Ravenswood. Let Best Food Trucks handle the food so you can concentrate on the big picture. Our Chicago food-truck catering program brings dependable, crowd-pleasing trucks to your event, eliminating the stress of late private chefs, bland buffet trays, and long lines that slow donation momentum.
We’re the Windy City’s one-stop shop for fundraiser catering. From coordinating permits with the city to providing our digital ordering platform that moves a hungry line faster than the Red Line at rush hour, we make sure every donor spends more time bidding and less time waiting for dinner. Best Food Trucks vets every vendor, so you get guaranteed quality, transparent pricing, and 5-star service that reflects well on your cause.
Looking for local flavor that screams “Chicago”? Book fan favorites like the Latin-inspired La Cocinita Chicago, smoky BBQ legend Soul & Smoke, gourmet-sandwich hotspot The Fat Shallot, Argentinian staple 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian street-food pro La Comodita. Whether your charity gala is at Navy Pier, your 5K kicks off in Grant Park, or your school auction is in suburban Oak Park, these trucks roll in with fresh, affordable menus that keep donors happy and wallets open.
Ready to turn your next Chicago fundraiser into a culinary hit? Partner with Best Food Trucks and give your guests the same hospitality you’d show at a backyard BBQ in Bridgeport—only without the hassle. Click “Book Now,” choose your favorite trucks, and watch your fundraising totals climb as fast as the skyline on a summer night.
Skip the line and enjoy your Chicago fundraiser!
Best Food Trucks’ Chicago-built online ordering system lets supporters spend more time bidding on Bulls tickets and less time standing in a food line that feels longer than the Eisenhower at 5 p.m. Guests simply pull out their phones, choose their favorite truck, and receive a text when their Italian beef, elote, or smoked rib tips are hot and ready. No bottlenecks, no cold food—just smooth service that keeps your donation flow moving.
Hosting a charity gala in the Loop, a park clean-up in Logan Square, or a PTA auction in Naperville? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can schedule pickup before they even find parking. Our “order-ahead” feature is perfect for tight lunchtime fundraisers and evening galas alike, ensuring every donor is fed and back to the silent auction before the next bid on the Cubs memorabilia closes.
Food trucks plus mobile ordering is the Chicago-smart way to raise money: zero extra work for your committee, premium eats for your guests, and a streamlined experience that keeps the spotlight on your cause—not the concession line.

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.
