Commemorating World Health Day at the Office
World Health Day, on April 7, is a natural moment for companies to invest in their teams — and a wellness-focused catered event is one of the most visible ways to do it. The goal is nourishing, vegetable-forward food that feels like a treat, not a restriction. Urban Affairs Catering & Events has catered corporate wellness events across NYC since 1998, prepared in our DOHMH-permitted kitchens under HACCP protocols across all five boroughs.

Why Companies Mark World Health Day
In our experience working with corporate clients, a World Health Day event does double duty: it shows employees they are valued and it reinforces a culture of wellbeing. The difference shows up when the food is genuinely nourishing and appealing, rather than a token salad bowl in the corner.
Wellness-Focused Menu Ideas
- A build-your-own grain and power-bowl bar with lean proteins
- A crudité and hummus spread with seasonal vegetables
- A fresh salad bar with a range of toppings and dressings
- A smoothie or fresh-juice station
- Vegetable-forward small plates and roasted-vegetable platters
- Fresh fruit and yogurt parfaits in place of heavy desserts
Formats for a Workday Wellness Event
Keep it light and self-serve so people can drop by between meetings — a station-based setup or grazing table works well within a workday. Browse vegetable-forward options on our diet-friendly and small plates menus.
Inclusive, Mindful, and Easy to Book
A wellness event should include everyone, so we provide clearly labeled vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, prepared under HACCP cross-contamination protocols in a DOHMH-permitted kitchen. For a full program, our corporate catering team handles delivery, setup, and timing so the day runs itself.
