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.
