Mission

Food Works is a full service catering business owned and operated by Middle Way House, an abused women's shelter in Bloomington, Indiana.

Financial independence is central to women's safety. Without it, many women will remain in, or return to abusive relationships. With this in mind, Food Works was started as an economic development program of the Middle Way House in 2002.

So, Food Works is a business with a mission! Several missions, in fact:

We are working to provide opportunities to women who are victims of domestic violence to become economically self-sufficient while providing real culinary skills, a safe and supportive work environment, and a valuable work history to present to future employers.

It is our goal to provide meals that are healthy, tasty and varied, and low in sodium sugar and fats. The food is prepared "from scratch" whenever possible. Our meals emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables and fiber.

Food Works strives to be known as the catering company that provides great food and service. Our success and repeat business has depended on this. By providing the best of service to customers, we can provide better services to our clients. When you contact us for services, rest assured you are making a choice for quality.

Food Works is a full service off premise catering business owned and operated by Middle Way House.

Middle Way House offers many award winning programs and services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and works to implement and sustain meaningful alternatives to living with violence. To serve this end, Middle Way House became a social entrepreneur and created two enterprises, Confidential Document Destruction (CDD) and Food Works for Middle Way House.
