Taste Buds
Feel good about eating good.
Taste Buds, a division of United Disability Services, is making lunch something to talk about with its box lunch catering services available to businesses and organizations throughout the Akron area.
A fresh and tasty box lunch catering menu features a variety of Taste Buds’ own delectable signature salads, mouth-watering sandwiches and specialty pizzas all individually packaged, professionally presented and ready to serve.

Quality food services with a mission
Not all box lunches are created equal. As a Taste Buds customer, you’re not only getting food that’s good, but you’re supporting a cause you can feel good about. Your support of Taste Buds helps to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Individuals who work at Taste Buds learn a broad range of skills needed to work in the food service industry either in the community or in a supported work environment. With the support of experienced UDS staff members, individuals learn how to prepare and serve food, interact with customers and help others who have joined the program adjust to their new work environment.
