Charlottesville Living - Walter Slawski with Catering Outfit

Title: From Zimbabwe to Virginia: Walter’s Journey in Hospitality & Philanthropy

Description:
In this episode, we welcome Walter, a close friend, entrepreneur, and the mastermind behind The Catering Outfit, Central Virginia’s premier boutique catering company. Walter shares his passion for hospitality, rooted in his upbringing in Zimbabwe, and how he brings a unique blend of colonial-style hospitality with a modern Southern twist to Charlottesville.

We also dive into his incredible work with the Makindu Children’s Program, a nonprofit supporting vulnerable children in Kenya, and his adventurous spirit—most recently climbing Mount Kilimanjaro! Walter shares powerful stories of transformation, including a former orphan who is now a lawyer, and details an upcoming fundraiser on April 12th at Otters Craft featuring local bands, food, and a concert with Mighty Joshua.

Plus, some fun rapid-fire questions, from his zombie apocalypse survival kit to the food he’d miss the most on a deserted island.
