This month's edition of The Partnership Newsletter celebrates Small Business Month & features FORK Catering Co. the 2025 Small Business of the Year. Small Business Month, celebrated every year in May, is a special tribute to small businesses, their courage, community efforts, and hard work. At the Greater Burlington Partnership our goal is to help small business and startup owners succeed. On the cover this month is FORK Catering Company, last year's Small Business of the Year. FORK Catering Company launched during the uncertainty of Covid, FORK Catering Company began as a small effort to feed families and has grown into a flourishing business, serving Southeast Iowa and West Central Illinois. In just a few short years, FORK has become a nearly half-million-dollar operation. One built not only on great food - but on reliability, heart, and hustle.
Whether offering discounted catering to schools and sports teams, donating meals, or raising money through on-site fundraisers, FORK shows up for the community. Behind the scenes, they are investing in their employees by mentoring, celebrating, and providing real opportunities to grow. At it's core, FORK Catering is about more than food, it's about easing stress, creating joy, and helping people celebrate life's biggest and smallest moments.
Mark your calendar for May 12 and join us at the 2026 Small Business Breakfast at Catfish Bend Convention & Event Center, where we will reveal this yearโs Small Business of the Year!
