Upcoming Events
Kid's Pasta Project Dinner
Tue, Nov 11, 2025 | 1am-3am
We’re proud to host Kids’ Pasta Project (KPP) dinners at The Creamery—joyful, community-centered events where young people take the lead in serving delicious, locally sourced meals to raise money for local causes.
Founded in 2009, the Kids’ Pasta Project empowers youth through hands-on philanthropy and service. Kids plan, prep, and serve pasta dinners, all while learning about community involvement, sustainable fundraising, and the power of working together.
At The Creamery, these dinners bring people of all ages together to enjoy good food and support meaningful work in the North Fork Valley. Proceeds from each event benefit a different local organization, creating a ripple of generosity that reaches schools, nonprofits, families, and more.
Come hungry, leave inspired—KPP dinners are a beautiful blend of service, sustainability, and community spirit.
