Event Coordinator Position

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
HazelBea Catering is a food-first catering company serving local mountain fare for over five years. We provide a fresh take on catering through innovative and delicious food in a welcoming and warm environment. Our team is growing and we hope you can join us.

In addition to catering, HazelBea At Home cooks healthy, prepared entrees and delivers them across the New River Valley. We work with local farms to source amazing products and turn them into oven-ready meals for busy homes. We believe in eating together, and our meals have given our customers the opportunity to do that again.

We also partner with Millstone Kitchen in Neighbors In Need, a donation-based program that serves multiple outlets to provide homemade meals for food insecure families. 

JOB DESCRIPTION
