Founders One • Nine

At Founders One Nine, we’re passionate about hosting unforgettable events — and we’re equally committed to protecting our planet. We understand that events often generate a significant amount of waste, contributing to environmental harm when food and materials end up in landfills.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Catering Creations and Hillside Solutions to offer our clients a truly zero waste event experience at Founders One Nine. Together, we’re redefining event sustainability by turning waste into a resource — not refuse — and making a positive impact on our community and environment.

Food Donations to Fight Hunger

Did you know 1 in 7 people in Douglas County face food insecurity? To help, any surplus food from your event is donated to Saving Grace, a local organization that swiftly redistributes meals to community food banks and shelters. In 2023 alone, over 3,000 pounds of food was donated through this program.

Reusable and Recyclable Materials

We prioritize reusable dishware to reduce single-use waste and lower your event’s carbon footprint. When disposable items are necessary, our team carefully sorts cardboard, cans, bottles, and soft plastics to maximize recycling efforts.
