Tries to please, with "to" (6)

I believe the answer is:

caters

(Other definitions for caters that I've seen before include "provides what's needed" , "Provides what is needed, say food and drink" , "Provides for in crates" , "Provides what is required" , "Does fare" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
