NEW! Preorder a Feature Box for lunch (available select Fridays!)

Here’s how it works:

We’ll have a new featured meal available on select Fridays that you won’t find on our usual global fusion menu. Sometimes it’ll be a former favorite, something from our catering menu, or something completely new. On boxed lunch days, the boxed option will be the only meal available.

  1. Preorder your boxed lunch any time before pick up day (or risk it and just show up- we’ll make some extra boxes and serve them till they’re gone).
  2. Take note of the pick up day indicated on the order. Hint: it’ll always be a Friday!
  3. Wait till Friday pick up day.
  4. Come to the truck at 10 N. Garth on Friday pick up day any time between 11am and 1pm to get your box(es).
  5. Take it to go or hang on the patio to eat.
  6. Tell us what you thought! Leave us a review on Facebook or Google.

More Than a Food Truck

City Cuisine is the culinary workforce development program of City of Refuge, using the universal language of food to create opportunity, build community, and strengthen our mission.

Every meal served advances three important goals:

City Cuisine prepares refugees for successful careers in the food industry through hands-on training and real-world experience. Participants build confidence in commercial kitchen operations, food safety, customer service, teamwork, English language skills, and other workplace essentials while gaining valuable experience in a professional environment.

For those with entrepreneurial dreams, City Cuisine also provides opportunities to explore business operations, catering, and restaurant management—helping participants take the first steps toward launching their own culinary ventures.

Food has a remarkable way of bringing people together.

For many customers, their first interaction with City of Refuge isn’t through a tour or a fundraising event—it’s through a meal. Someone may stop by because they love authentic global cuisine, then leave with a deeper understanding of the refugees who make our community stronger.

Every plate served creates opportunities to share stories, celebrate cultures, and introduce new people to the mission of City of Refuge.

As a social enterprise, City Cuisine also helps strengthen the long-term sustainability of City of Refuge.

Revenue generated through catering, food truck events, cooking classes, and future café operations is reinvested into our mission, helping fund programs and services that support refugee families throughout Mid-Missouri.

Every purchase does more than provide a great meal—it creates employment opportunities, builds community, and helps ensure City of Refuge can continue serving refugee families for years to come.
