At FSC First, we believe that company culture is the heart of every successful business. A strong culture not only supports growth but also empowers teams to thrive, innovate, and serve their communities with excellence. This Global Company Culture Month, we are proud to spotlight one of our partners whose journey embodies resilience, service, and a people-first approach: C & C Catering.
How Work Culture Shapes Success
Work culture is more than just an internal practice—it’s the foundation of how businesses operate and grow. A positive culture brings people together, inspires loyalty, and creates lasting impact. At FSC First, we see every day how entrepreneurs build environments where staff feel valued, customers feel supported, and quality is never compromised.
When company culture thrives, businesses not only grow but also make a difference in the communities they serve. That spirit is clear in the story of C & C Catering.
The Story of C & C Catering
Like many great ventures, C & C Catering began at home. Cynthia Griffith, owner of the company, first learned the art of cooking from her two grandmothers. They weren’t fancy chefs, but they were exceptional cooks—teaching Cynthia the importance of good food made with care.
In July 1997, Cynthia officially founded C & C Catering in Prince George’s County, Maryland. What began as a passion became a licensed, full-service, off-premise catering facility serving corporate and social clients across the Washington metropolitan area.
Quality as the Core Ingredient
From the start, C & C Catering has held quality as its most important ingredient. By selecting only the finest and freshest ingredients, the company has been able to present food with both creativity and style. Their philosophy is simple yet powerful:
- Wow the client—whether it’s a simple lunch or an elegant gala.
- Prioritize excellence—from food to service.
- Celebrate people—because satisfied customers are the most memorable reward.
A Culture of People First
While food is at the center of the business, Cynthia believes the real secret to success lies in people. Her staff is composed of friendly, caring, and courteous individuals who not only enjoy working for the company but also take pride in being part of something greater.
“Though the food is important, we believe that the people who work with us have everything to do with the success of an event and with the satisfaction of our customers.” – C & C Catering
This people-first mindset reflects the very essence of strong company culture.
