Pasta Dinner & Basket Raffle
Family-friendly March 26 event raises funds to help residents in need
The Community Service Association of New Providence (CSA), together with the New Providence Lions Club, will host its 8th Annual Pasta Dinner & Basket Raffle on Sunday, March 26, 2023. This fun, family-friendly event will take place at the DeCorso Community Center, 15 East Fourth Street, New Providence, NJ. A feast of pasta, salad, and dessert will be served from 3pm-7pm. Tickets are $15 per person; children five and under are free. Cash and checks will be accepted at the door.
The Community Service Association of New Providence is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which provides temporary assistance to New Providence residents with financial needs. This could mean helping a family or individual with medical bills, paying utility bills or rent, supplying food, and more. The CSA also works with New Providence’s Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts and Faith Lutheran Church on the annual, town-wide Scouting for Food drive and the new LINC Food Pantry started by New Providence High School students.
“We are excited to bring back the Pasta Dinner & Basket Raffle for the first time since 2020,” said CSA President Thomas Montrone. “The needs of residents in our community continue to grow, especially in light of the pandemic and growing economic crisis. We hope people will come out to enjoy a delicious meal and try to win terrific prize baskets for a great cause,” he continued.
The CSA was established in 1954 and is believed by longtime members to be the first organization of its kind in the country. New Providence residents who would like to get involved are welcome to the CSA meetings on the second Wednesday of each month.
Residents in need of the CSA’s help, or anyone wishing to get involved in supporting or volunteering, can call (908) 665-8254 or email csanewprovidence@gmail.com.
