Calling all food lovers! Come sample the cuisine of over 20 Burlington County restaurants and try your luck at our multiple raffle drawings.
Providence House Domestic Violence Services will hold the 20th Annual Taste of Burlington County at The Merion in Cinnaminson on October 8, from 6-9:30pm.
All proceeds will benefit Providence House, Burlington County’s first domestic violence program, established in 1978. This year, the event will include more than 20 restaurants, a gift auction with 120 gift baskets and multiple raffle drawings. In honor of the event’s 20th anniversary, 20 of the baskets will be special luxury gift baskets. Last year, The Taste of Burlington County raised more than $52,000 to provide comprehensive services, free of charge, to victims of domestic violence and their children in the community.
Tickets are $55 each and tables of ten can be reserved. To purchase tickets, or for more information on how to become an event sponsor or make a donation for the gift auction, contact Marcia Fishkin at (856)-824-0599, or mfishkin@cctrenton.org.

Providence House has provided free and confidential services for survivors of domestic abuse and their children for more than 35 years. Families are assisted through an array of services, including emergency shelter, a 24-hour hotline, individual and group counseling, a children’s program, community education and more. These services are invaluable to survivors and their children who are striving to break the cycle of violence.
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, a faith-inspired human service agency with more than 100 years of experience, works to alleviate human suffering through a wide variety of services that include behavioral healthcare, domestic violence prevention and treatment, help with basic needs, housing assistance, job training and supported employment, and addiction treatment. We are a non-profit recognized by the Chronicle of Philanthropy as one of the most fiscally efficient in the country, using less than 10 percent of our revenue for administrative costs. Through depressions and disasters, Catholic Charities has been a trusted resource to all in need in Central New Jersey for the past 100 years.
