In one example of Camille Brochu’s philanthropic values, she organized a fundraiser during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having worked in healthcare before launching the catering business, Camille felt strongly about supporting frontline workers who were dealing with unprecedented work conditions. Alongside Creative Hands, she launched Feed the Soul, a GoFundMe campaign that allowed them to make and deliver hundreds of meals to healthcare facilities around the community. Amidst the stress and uncertainty, the recipients of the meals were grateful for warm, nutritious meals to bolster their energy. Beyond this campaign, Camille and her family often volunteer at local nonprofit organizations, including a men’s shelter and an animal rescue.
Camille Brochu keeps up with the latest fashion and design trends to provide the best possible service for their clients. The Creative Hands team understands that food trends follow fashion and other artistic industries, and they use that knowledge to guide their theming and experiential elements. Camille works to design their food sets to entertain, going above and beyond just feeding guests. In line with this, they always experiment with new and unique food flavors while integrating tried-and-true options.
Additionally, Camille Brochu and her husband prioritize hiring exceptional team members. While many other catering companies fight high turnover rates or rely on temporary workers, Creative Hands has cultivated a close-knit team of well-trained professionals who tend to stick around for a long time. Camille ensures every new hire receives extensive training in etiquette, managing logistics, and providing consistent service. This has been critical in building their reputation, as clients can expect high levels of professionalism and a consistent experience across multiple events.
