Calhoun County, AL — What could have been a costly catering cancellation quickly turned into a heartfelt act of generosity, thanks to the quick thinking and community spirit of Shaye and Blake Wooten, owners of Wooten’s Easy Eatery—a local catering company known for its fresh, flavorful fare and outstanding service.
Specializing in full-service catering for private events, corporate functions, and celebrations of all sizes, Wooten’s Easy Eatery had meticulously prepared a full spread for a scheduled event. When the event was unexpectedly canceled due to a scheduling issue, the Wootens were left with hundreds of dollars in food—and a choice to make.
“We’ve always believed that giving back is part of our purpose,” said Shaye Wooten. “We couldn’t let all that food go to waste when we knew there were people out there who could benefit.”
Blake, a military veteran, reached out and discovered that a group of servicemen and women based out of McClellan in Anniston were returning from the field—one of whom was celebrating a birthday. Without hesitation, the Wootens pivoted, transforming their day’s preparations into a surprise celebration for those who serve.
The result? A hot, fresh-cooked meal that lifted spirits and turned an unexpected change of plans into a moment of gratitude and connection.
Though well-known for their appearances at local festivals and events via their popular food truck, Wooten’s Easy Eatery is, at its heart, a dedicated catering company. Their commitment to high-quality food, personal service, and giving back makes them a trusted choice for events across Calhoun County and beyond.
