March Benefit This special dinner benefits the East End Cooperative Ministry. EECM is an interfaith ministry dedicated to helping at-risk children and youth, the hungry, the homeless, and others in need throughout Pittsburgh’s East End. The organization leads a community-wide effort, supported by more than 40 member congregations, as well as a corps of local businesses and foundations, generous donors, and dedicated volunteers. For many of the individuals it serves, EECM provides the necessities of life: a hot meal, a safe place to sleep, food for the family. For others, it is a place to regain strength after a hospital stay, a support system to work toward recovery, or one-on-one help to change life for the better. For young people, EECM is educational programs, drug and alcohol prevention programs, violence prevention programs, Summer Day Camp, and a concerted effort to show our children a better future. |

| About Casbah’s Charity Dinners On the fourth Thursday of the month, Casbah hosts a special dining event to benefit a specific local or national nonprofit organization. Each evening has its own unique menu, inspired by a particular Mediterranean region or seasonal foods. Casbah donates 100% of proceeds to the charities. We hope you can join us in helping these organizations while enjoying outstanding food and wine in Casbah's intimate lower dining room. The minimum donation per person for the EECM dinner is $126. Guests are invited to write their checks directly to the Ministry. Gratuity is not included. Please see our 2007 schedule of dinners to the right. Dates with links have the menus listed; others are to come. To keep apprised of future menus and charities, please join our mailing list. |
